QM7-X: A comprehensive dataset of quantum-mechanical properties spanning the chemical space of small organic molecules

Here, we introduce QM7-X, a comprehensive dataset of > 40 physicochemical properties for ~4.2 M equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures of small organic molecules with up to seven non-hydrogen (C, N, O, S, Cl) atoms. To span this fundamentally important region of chemical compound space (CCS), QM7-X includes an exhaustive sampling of (meta-)stable equilibrium structures---comprised of constitutional/structural isomers and stereoisomers, e.g., enantiomers and diastereomers (including cis-trans-and conformational isomers)---as well as 100 non-equilibrium structural variations thereof to reach a total of ~4.2 M molecular structures. Computed at the tightly converged quantum-mechanical PBE0+MBD level of theory, QM7-X contains global (molecular) and local (atom-in-a-molecule) properties ranging from ground state quantities (such as atomization energies and dipole moments) to response quantities (such as polarizability tensors and dispersion coefficients). By providing a systematic, extensive, and tightly converged dataset of quantum-mechanically computed physical and chemical properties, we expect that QM7-X will play a critical role in the development of next-generation machine-learning based models for exploring greater swaths of CCS and performing in silico design of molecules with targeted properties.

The dataset is provided in eight HDF5 based files (compressed in .XZ files). One can also find here a README file with technical usage details and examples of how to access the information stored in the dataset (see createDB.py).
