Fast Sigma: a QSPR method to estimate COSMO sigma-profiles¶
Introduction¶
The Fast Sigma program reads a molecule in SMILES format and estimates all of the properties required for a COSMO-RS/-SAC calculation: the HB-/Non-HB-/OT-/OH- \(\sigma\)-profiles, COSMO surface area, and COSMO volume. This code uses QSPR techniques similar to those applied in our Property Prediction program. The efficiency of these techniques means that this program can provide estimates for these essential COSMO-RS/-SAC properties in milliseconds. This allows for quick estimates to be done for a new molecule of interest as well as drastically expedited searches through screening databases of molecular candidates as compared to the full-fledged COSMO-RS strategy, which requires costly DFT calculations.
Input options¶
A list of the input options and examples of their usage is given below.
Flag | Purpose | Example |
---|---|---|
-h [–help] | Produces help message | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma –help |
-s [–smiles] | Input molecule as SMILES sting | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma –smiles <SMILES> ... |
-m [–mol] | Input molecule as .mol file | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma –mol <mol file> ... |
-d [–display] | Display problem results | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma -d ... |
-o [–output] | Write output to file | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma –o <output.compkf> ... |
–method | Chose a COSMO-RS/-SAC method | $ADFBIN/fast_sigma –method COSMO-RS ... |
There are currently two supported methods: COSMO-RS and COSMOSAC2016. One of these method names must be entered after the –method flag. The default method is COSMO-RS.
<output.compkf>
- The fast sigma program writes the output results to a file in .compkf format. The chosen output filename should generally end with .compkf. This suffix helps other parts of the code (COSMO-RS/-SAC/-UNIFAC/Solvent Optimization) recognize the format and use the file accordingly. If no filename is supplied the program writes to a file called CRSKF.
SMILES_string or .mol file
- Though COSMO-RS/-SAC can make estimates for many types of molecular species, the fast sigma program currently only supports organic, neutral, closed shell molecules.
GUI Input¶
The simplest way to use the Fast Sigma program is through the COSMO-RS GUI. There are two ways to do this:
- SMILES string: Compounds → List of Compounds → Add Compound using QSPR (Fast Sigma) → SMILES and select Add.
- .xyz file: Compounds → List of Compounds → Add Compound using QSPR (Fast Sigma) → .xyz, and select Add.
A .compkf file will be saved that can be used as input in COSMO-RS calculations.
Examples¶
This example calculates COSMO-RS (the default) parameters for phenol:
