SupraBench

SupraBench is the first benchmark for evaluating large language models on supramolecular host-guest chemistry reasoning. It comprises four fundamental tasks plus an auxiliary vision task, and ships a domain text corpus for domain-adaptive pretraining (DAPT).

Supramolecular chemistry studies non-covalent host-guest assemblies that underpin drug delivery, chemical sensing, and in-vivo toxin sequestration. Designing host-guest systems is slow (days of dry-lab verification per pair); SupraBench probes whether LLMs can reason about these systems directly.

The dataset family

Dataset Task Description
SupraBench/bap Binding Affinity Prediction regress log K_a for a host-guest pair
SupraBench/tbs Top-Binder Selection pick the strongest binder among 4 candidate guests
SupraBench/sid Solvent Identification 6-way solvent classification from structure
SupraBench/hgd Host-Guest Description open-ended QA on host/guest property profiles
SupraBench/EU-PMC Text corpus 16M-token supramolecular corpus for DAPT
SupraBench/Binding-Affinity Comprehensive anchor per-record binding data + host/guest SMILES, 2D, 3D, environment

Each task dataset is partitioned by prompting strategy into three splits: base, cot, and fewshot (the strategy is also recorded in the prompt_strategy column). The CB[7] generalization records are a subset of every split and remain identifiable by host name.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

# prompting-strategy split: "base" | "cot" | "fewshot"
ds = load_dataset("SupraBench/bap", split="cot")
print(ds[0]["question"])   # fully rendered prompt
print(ds[0]["answer"])     # reference label

To run the benchmark end-to-end (inference + scoring) see the code repository:

uv run python src/main.py \
    --task-config  configs/tasks/bap_base.yaml \
    --model-config configs/models/openrouter_qwen35_27b.yaml \
    --output-dir   outputs/

Performance report

Main results from the SupraBench paper across the four fundamental tasks (8 LLMs x 3 prompting strategies). Bold = best, italic = second-best per column. Arrows give the optimization direction.

Takeaways: frontier proprietary LLMs (Gemini-3-Flash, DeepSeek-v4) lead the quantitative tasks, yet every task leaves substantial headroom; no single prompting strategy is universally best; and CoT amplifies rather than fixes the underlying reasoning gap on binding-affinity prediction.
