AI Informed Toxicity Screening of Amine Chemistries used in the
Synthesis of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites
Abstract
This paper describes a machine learning guided framework for screening
the potential toxicity impact of amine chemistries used in the synthesis
of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. Using a combination of a
probabilistic molecular fingerprint technique that encodes bond
connectivity (MinHash) coupled to non-linear data dimensionality
reduction methods (UMAP), we develop an “Amine Atlas’. We show how the
Amine Atlas can be used to rapidly screen the relative toxicity levels
of amine molecules used in the synthesis of 2D and 3D perovskites and
help identify safer alternatives. Our work also serves as a framework
for rapidly identifying molecular similarity guided, structure-function
relationships for safer materials chemistries that also incorporate
sustainability/ toxicity concerns.
