金属-有机框架(MOFs)为吸附式气体分离提供了高度可调的平台,但其庞大的拓扑设计空间使得在化学有效性、分离性能和结构多样性多重约束下进行逆向设计极具挑战。本文提出 LEMO Agent,一个基于大语言模型的闭环逆向设计框架,用于在 MOFid 空间中探索气体分离用 MOFs。LEM0 Agent 融合语言模型生成候选结构、MOFid 标准化、显式有效性校验、Transformer 预测性能、结构化设计记忆及多岛探索机制。通过生成-验证-评估-记忆的迭代循环,利用成功与失败样本的反馈,在连接体、金属节点和拓扑类型的选择上实现化学约束下的智能搜索。在 CH₄/N₂ 和 CO₂/N₂ 分离任务上评估表明,相比代表性生成、优化及代理基基线,LEMO Agent 提升了高性能候选物的数量与预测性能,并维持了广泛的化学与拓扑多样性。精选候选物经重构、巨正则蒙特卡洛(GCMC)模拟验证,并通过基于化学可行性与配体可购性的实验筛选流程,最终进入初步湿法合成与 SEM 表征。结果表明,大语言模型代理可作为可解释且可扩展的设计引擎,显著加速超越传统固定库筛选的 MOF 发现进程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a highly modular platform for adsorptive gas separation, yet their vast reticular design space makes inverse design difficult under simultaneous constraints of chemical validity, separation performance, and structural diversity. Here, we present LEMO Agent, a large-language-model agent framework for closed-loop inverse design of gas-separation MOFs in MOFid space. LEMO Agent couples language-based candidate generation with MOFid standardization, explicit validity checking, Transformer-based property prediction, structured design memory, and multi-island exploration. Through iterative generate--validate--evaluate--remember cycles, the agent uses feedback from both successful and failed candidates to guide chemically constrained search across linker, metal, and topology choices. We evaluate LEMO Agent on CH$_4$/N$_2$ and CO$_2$/N$_2$ separation tasks. Compared with representative generative, optimization, and agentic baselines, LEMO Agent enriches high-performing candidates, improves predicted separation performance, and maintains broad chemical and topological diversity. Selected candidates are further reconstructed, evaluated by GCMC simulations, and passed through an experimental down-selection workflow based on chemical feasibility and ligand purchasability, leading to initial wet-lab synthesis and SEM characterization. These results demonstrate that large language model agents can serve as interpretable and scalable design engines for accelerating MOF discovery beyond conventional fixed-library screening.
