# Dataset Name
AIMNet2
### Description
AIMNet2(2025) is the extended training dataset for the AIMNet2 (second generation atoms-in-molecules network) neural network interatomic potential, curated to improve the model's description of noncovalent interactions (NCIs) including hydrogen bonding, pi-pi stacking, dispersion, sigma-hole, ionic, and electrostatic contacts. The dataset covers neutral and charged closed-shell molecular systems composed of up to 14 non-metal elements (H, B, C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, Cl, As, Se, Br, I) with up to 193 atoms per system. Structures were drawn from three complementary sources: (a) molecular geometries from SPICE v2.0.1 (solvated systems, amino acid-ligand pairs, water clusters) and the CREMP dataset (macrocyclic peptides); (b) small neutral and charged molecules from PubChem sampled via normal mode sampling and metadynamics-guided geometry exploration; (c) dimer geometries assembled from Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) monomers (up to 14 supported elements, fewer than 200 atoms) and pre-optimized with AIMNet2-wB97M-D3(2023) to remove steric clashes while preserving configurational diversity. All quantum chemical calculations used ORCA 6.0.1 with the composite B97-3c DFT functional under restricted Kohn-Sham (RKS) formalism. SCF convergence was enforced with TightSCF and SlowConv; RIJCOSX integral acceleration and DEFGRID2 integration grid were applied throughout. AIMNet2(2025) was initialized from AIMNet2(2023) weights and continually pretrained on this dataset without weight freezing or regularization, using a multi-task loss over energy (w=1.0), forces (w=0.2), and Hirshfeld partial charges (w=0.5).

# Usage
- `ds.parquet` : Aggregated dataset information.
- `co/` directory: Configuration rows each include a structure, calculated properties, and metadata.
- `cs/` directory : Configuration sets are subsets of configurations grouped by some common characteristic. If `cs/` does not exist, no configurations sets have been defined for this dataset.
- `cs_co_map/` directory : The mapping of configurations to configuration sets (if defined).
