Currently, the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) calculated by quantum chemical methods are important for the discovery of new materials, i.e., estimating the optoelectronic properties of candidate organic molecules and filtering databases. For this purpose Alfa Chemistry offers HOMO and LUMO forecasting services. To swiftly estimate HOMO and LUMO orbital energies, we have tested a number of machine learning techniques. These algorithms can take the place of computationally taxing DFT computations to provide frontier orbital energies and other useful features of whole molecules, bonds, or atoms.
Ultra-fast estimates can be produced by machine learning using data that has already been calculated using DFT or ab initio techniques. For this, reasonable machine learning methods, suitable machine learning descriptors, and well-designed data sets are needed. Machine learning models are expected to provide early filters that can select a set of promising molecules for further screening by other computationally more demanding methods.

The demand for ultra-thin, lightweight and flexible electronic devices has led to the exploration of organic materials that may have a unique combination of electronic, chemical, and mechanical properties. For example, organic materials have important applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs), and organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). In addition to materials, HOMO and LUMO energy calculations can be used to evaluate chemical reactivity and to derive molecular descriptors for QSAR and QSPR models.
