The QSPR methodology is very promising for the creation of new materials, including materials based on inorganic compounds. However, the majority of QSPR descriptor systems are applicable only for organic molecules. In this work the 1D - QSPR descriptor system is proposed for analysis of the properties of various inorganic compounds. These descriptors are easily accessible, as they describe the most fundamental atom properties. The combinatorial schemes for computing these descriptors provide for their wide variety. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated to study the refractive indices and melting points of various inorganic compounds - components of potential optical film-forming materials. The developed QSPR models are suitable for the evaluative virtual screening of inorganic compounds; the mean relative error of prediction is 6 - 15%. The interpretation of the developed models reflects the nature of interatomic interactions in compounds with ionic structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
