Abstract

Recently, we introduced a class of molecular representations for kernel-based regression methods -- the spectrum of approximated Hamiltonian matrices (SPAH^\mathrm{H}M) -- that takes advantage of lightweight one-electron Hamiltonians traditionally used as an SCF initial guess. The original SPAH^\mathrm{H}M variant is built from occupied-orbital energies (ie, eigenvalues) and naturally contains all the information about nuclear charges, atomic positions, and symmetry requirements. Its advantages were demonstrated on datasets featuring a wide variation of charge and spin, for which traditional structure-based representations commonly fail. SPAH^\mathrm{H}M(a,b), as introduced here, expand the eigenvalue SPAH^\mathrm{H}M into local and transferable representations. They rely upon one-electron density matrices to build fingerprints from atomic and bond density overlap contributions inspired from preceding state-of-the-art representations. The performance and efficiency of SPAH^\mathrm{H}M(a,b) is assessed on the predictions for datasets of prototypical organic molecules (QM7) of different charges and azoheteroarene dyes in an excited state. Overall, both SPAH^\mathrm{H}M(a) and SPAH^\mathrm{H}M(b) outperform state-of-the-art representations on difficult prediction tasks such as the atomic properties of charged open-shell species and of π\pi-conjugated systems.
