Ligand Optimization of Exchange Interaction in Co(II) Dimer Single Molecule Magnet by Machine Learning.

Designing single-molecule magnets (SMMs) for potential applications in quantum computing and high-density data storage requires tuning their magnetic properties, especially the strength of the magnetic interaction. These properties can be characterized by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). In this work, we study the experimentally synthesized Co(II) dimer (Co2(C5NH5)4(μ-PO2(CH2C6H5)2)3) SMM with the goal to control the exchange energy, ΔEJ, between the Co atoms through tuning of the capping ligands. The experimentally synthesized Co(II) dimer molecule has a very small ΔEJ < 1 meV. We assemble a DFT data set of 1081 ligand substitutions for the Co(II) dimer. The ligand exchange provides a broad range of exchange energies, ΔEJ, from +50 to -200 meV, with 80% of the ligands yielding a small ΔEJ < 10 meV. We identify descriptors for the classification and regression of ΔEJ using gradient boosting machine learning models. We compare one-hot encoded, structure-based, and chemical descriptors consisting of the HOMO/LUMO energies of the individual ligands and the maximum electronegativity difference and bond order for the ligand atom connecting to Co. We observe a similar overall performance with the chemical descriptors outperforming the other descriptors. We show that the exchange coupling, ΔEJ, is correlated to the difference in the average bridging angle between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states, similar to the Goodenough-Kanamori rules.
