The pith

An invariant QCOF model with small descriptor size outperforms general machine learning potentials for simulating defective covalent organic frameworks.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The authors train specialized QCOF machine learning interatomic potentials by tuning the MACE architecture on extensive non-equilibrium density functional theory data for covalent organic frameworks. An invariant version with reduced descriptor dimensionality and cutoff radius outperforms general-purpose MACE models and fine-tuned variants across benchmarks including force accuracy in defective structures, system scalability, and phonon dispersion. This model then powers large-scale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics runs that quantify thermal conductivity drops in defective CTF-1 and COF-LZU1, finding stronger defect sensitivity in CTF-1, alongside stress-strain curves that remain nearly unchanged at low defect levels but turn asymmetric at large strains.

Core claim

The paper establishes that an invariant QCOF model with small descriptor dimensionality and cutoff outperforms all other models in most validation tasks, including scalability to large systems, force prediction in defective COFs, and phonon dispersion calculations. The best-performing QCOF model was then used to run large-scale simulations of thermal conductivity for defective CTF-1 and COF-LZU1 systems via non-equilibrium MD, revealing a more pronounced sensitivity of CTF-1 to structural defects, while stress-strain curves show nearly invariant mechanical response at low defect densities with asymmetric behaviour at large strains.

What carries the argument

The invariant QCOF model, a tuned MACE architecture with small descriptor dimensionality and cutoff trained on non-equilibrium DFT COF conformations.

Load-bearing premise

Machine learning interatomic potentials trained on non-equilibrium DFT conformations of COFs will accurately capture thermal and mechanical behavior in large defective systems outside the training distribution.

What would settle it

A direct measurement of thermal conductivity in a synthesized defective CTF-1 sample compared against the non-equilibrium MD prediction from the QCOF model.

read the original abstract

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are versatile two-dimensional (2D) materials for flexible electronics, catalysis, and sensing, owing to their tunable architectures and large surface areas. However, like most materials, COFs inevitably contain synthesis-induced defects, which-similar to graphene-can strongly influence intrinsic properties, such as thermal transport and mechanical strength. To address this challenge, we have assessed the performance of a set of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIP) capable of efficient large-scale simulations of COFs with quantum accuracy. In doing so, QCOF models (Quantum COF) were developed by tuning the state-of-the-art MACE architecture on an extensive dataset of non-equilibrium COF conformations generated from high-fidelity density functional theory calculations. The accuracy, computational efficiency, memory footprint, and transferability to unseen chemical environments of these models were benchmarked against general-purpose MACE models and their fine-tuned variants. Our results show that an invariant QCOF model with a small descriptor dimensionality and cutoff outperforms all other models in most validation tasks, including scalability to large systems, force prediction in defective COFs, and phonon dispersion calculations. The best-performing QCOF model was then used to run large-scale simulations of thermal conductivity for defective CTF-1 and COF-LZU1 systems via non-equilibrium MD, revealing a more pronounced sensitivity of CTF-1 to structural defects. Stress-strain curves were also investigated, showing that the mechanical response remains nearly invariant at low defect densities, while asymmetric behaviour emerges at large strains. This work thus provides a foundation for the design of robust quantum-informed MLIP for large-scale property simulations of defective of extended network materials.

Referee Report

3 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript develops a family of MACE-based machine learning interatomic potentials (termed QCOF models) trained on extensive DFT-generated non-equilibrium conformations of covalent organic frameworks. It benchmarks an invariant QCOF variant with reduced descriptor dimensionality and cutoff radius against general-purpose MACE models and fine-tuned variants, reporting superior performance in force accuracy on defective COFs, computational scalability, and phonon dispersion calculations. The best QCOF model is subsequently deployed in large-scale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to compute thermal conductivity of defective CTF-1 and COF-LZU1, concluding that CTF-1 exhibits stronger defect sensitivity, while stress-strain response remains largely invariant at low defect densities.

Significance. If the central claims hold, the work supplies a practical, quantum-accurate route to simulate thermal transport and mechanics in large defective COF supercells that remain inaccessible to direct DFT. The emphasis on a compact, transferable model and its application to defect-induced changes in conductivity could inform materials design for flexible electronics and catalysis. The use of a large DFT training set and systematic benchmarking against an established architecture are positive features.

major comments (3)
  1. [§5] §5 (thermal conductivity simulations): the headline claim that CTF-1 shows more pronounced defect sensitivity than COF-LZU1 rests on NE-MD trajectories generated with the QCOF model. No direct comparison to ab initio MD or Boltzmann transport equation calculations on even modestly sized defective supercells is provided, leaving the quantitative sensitivity vulnerable to extrapolation error from training data that primarily samples low-defect or pristine environments.
  2. [§4] §4 (benchmarking and validation): while the text asserts that the invariant QCOF model outperforms alternatives in force prediction on defective COFs and phonon calculations, the abstract and main text supply no numerical MAE values, error bars, or tables quantifying the improvement over MACE baselines. This absence prevents assessment of whether the reported outperformance is statistically meaningful or practically significant for the downstream thermal-transport results.
  3. [Methods] Methods (training data generation): the models are trained exclusively on non-equilibrium DFT conformations of (presumably low-defect) COFs. The manuscript does not describe how defect configurations (e.g., missing linkers or vacancies) are sampled or whether any defective structures were included in the training or validation splits, which directly affects the reliability of force predictions and derived transport properties in the defective systems studied later.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract, final sentence: the phrasing 'defective of extended network materials' appears to be a typographical error and should be corrected for clarity.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions and tables: several benchmarking figures lack explicit error bars or statistical details on the number of test configurations, which would aid reproducibility.

  1. Referee: §5 (thermal conductivity simulations): the headline claim that CTF-1 shows more pronounced defect sensitivity than COF-LZU1 rests on NE-MD trajectories generated with the QCOF model. No direct comparison to ab initio MD or Boltzmann transport equation calculations on even modestly sized defective supercells is provided, leaving the quantitative sensitivity vulnerable to extrapolation error from training data that primarily samples low-defect or pristine environments.

    Authors: We agree that direct ab initio validation on large defective supercells would be ideal but is computationally infeasible, which is the primary motivation for developing the QCOF MLIPs. Our model was benchmarked on force predictions for defective COF structures (unseen during training) and phonon dispersions, providing indirect support for the NE-MD results. In the revised manuscript we will add a dedicated limitations paragraph discussing extrapolation risks, emphasize the relative (rather than absolute) nature of the CTF-1 vs. COF-LZU1 comparison, and include additional small-system DFT validations of defect-induced force errors in the supplementary information. revision: partial

  2. Referee: §4 (benchmarking and validation): while the text asserts that the invariant QCOF model outperforms alternatives in force prediction on defective COFs and phonon calculations, the abstract and main text supply no numerical MAE values, error bars, or tables quantifying the improvement over MACE baselines. This absence prevents assessment of whether the reported outperformance is statistically meaningful or practically significant for the downstream thermal-transport results.

    Authors: We apologize for the lack of prominent numerical values. Detailed MAE tables with error bars and statistical comparisons to MACE baselines are already present in the results section and supplementary material. In the revised version we will extract and highlight the key numerical improvements (force MAE on defective COFs, phonon frequency errors) directly in the abstract and main text so that readers can immediately assess the magnitude and significance of the gains. revision: yes

  3. Referee: Methods (training data generation): the models are trained exclusively on non-equilibrium DFT conformations of (presumably low-defect) COFs. The manuscript does not describe how defect configurations (e.g., missing linkers or vacancies) are sampled or whether any defective structures were included in the training or validation splits, which directly affects the reliability of force predictions and derived transport properties in the defective systems studied later.

    Authors: The referee correctly notes that the training set contains only non-equilibrium conformations of pristine COFs; no defective structures were included in training or validation. Defect configurations for the thermal and mechanical studies were generated independently by removing linkers or creating vacancies in large supercells. We will revise the Methods section to state this explicitly, describe the defect-generation protocol, and clarify that the benchmarks on defective COFs test transferability to unseen environments. This information will also be summarized in a new paragraph on model applicability. revision: yes

No significant circularity; standard MLIP training-validation-application pipeline

full rationale

The paper trains QCOF models on independent DFT-generated non-equilibrium COF conformations, benchmarks force accuracy, phonon dispersions, and scalability on held-out test sets (including defective structures), and applies the best model to large-scale NE-MD for thermal conductivity and stress-strain curves. No self-definitional loops exist where outputs are defined in terms of themselves; no fitted parameters are relabeled as predictions; validation metrics derive from data partitions external to training; and any self-citations are not load-bearing for the central claims, which rest on new DFT references and comparisons to general MACE. The chain is self-contained against external benchmarks.
