Machine learning predictions of bond dissociation energies (BDEs)

This tool predicts BDEs for single, noncyclic bonds in neutral organic molecules consisting of C, H, O, and N atoms. Mean absolute errors are typically less than 1 kcal/mol for most compounds. To use, enter a SMILES string above (or use the drawing tool) and press submit. Reference DFT-calculated BDEs used as training can be displayed for any predicted bond using the neighbors link.
