De novo molecular generation with optical property preconditioning at the token level
Designing OLED molecules with targeted optical properties remains challenging due to the scarcity of high-quality data and the limited reliability of conditional control in generative models across chemical motifs. Here, we benchmark a token-conditioned autoregressive language model for OLED molecular generation in a realistic low-data regime. A GPT2 model is pretrained on large chemical corpora, augmented with discrete property tokens, and fine-tuned using multi-task optimisation. Conditioning targets vertical absorption energy and oscillator strength, with the HOMO-LUMO gap included as an auxiliary electronic descriptor. Generated molecules are evaluated at the TDDFT level to assess distributional fidelity and controllability. The generated library reproduces the dominant optical-property support of the training distribution while shifting towards lower molecular weight and fewer heavy atoms. Token-level control is consistently directional across conditioning bins, but is not fully orthogonal and exhibits local calibration irregularities. A chemotype-resolved analysis further shows that controllability depends strongly on local electronic environments: moderately conjugated aromatic-carbon motifs are associated with improved joint target satisfaction, whereas electron-withdrawing motifs, particularly aryl nitriles, show systematic red-shifting and reduced controllability. These results establish a quantitative benchmark for conditional OLED molecular generation and show that model reliability must be assessed in chemically meaningful subspaces rather than from aggregate property distributions alone.
