Abstract
A method for assessing the synthesis complexity of in silico designed polymers using the modified Synthetic Accessibility Score Index is presented. This index is calculated by decomposing a chemical structure into smaller fragments and evaluating their contribution to the overall score. Also discussed are the data sources for these estimates, ways to overcome ambiguity in the representation of the smallest repeating unit of polymers, and the problem of evaluating the stability of chemical structures stored in machine- generated databases.
期刊介绍:
Mendeleev Communications is the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, launched jointly by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Royal Society of Chemistry (United Kingdom) in 1991. Starting from 1st January 2007, Elsevier is the new publishing partner of Mendeleev Communications.
Mendeleev Communications publishes short communications in chemistry. The journal primarily features papers from the Russian Federation and the other states of the former USSR. However, it also includes papers by authors from other parts of the world. Mendeleev Communications is not a translated journal, but instead is published directly in English. The International Editorial Board is composed of eminent scientists who provide advice on refereeing policy.
