## Dataset
#### LICENSE: The OMC25 dataset is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license

OMC25 represents the largest high quality molecular crystal DFT dataset.
OMC25 was generated at the PBE-D3 level of theory as implemented in Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP). OMC25 includes structures sampled from relaxation trajectories of molecular crystals generated by [Genarris 3.0](https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/685d9e933ba0887c33139611) starting from molecules in the [OE62 dataset](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0385-y). For more details on the dataset, see [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/xxxx.xxxxx).

Here we provide the OMC25 training and validation splits. Dataset files are written as ase-db [`LMDBDatabase`](https://gitlab.com/ase/ase-db-backends/-/blob/main/ase_db_backends/aselmdb.py) objects. 

| Splits | Size | Starting Molecular crystals | Starting Molecules | Storage | Download |
| :-----: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :--: | :------: |
| Train     | 24,870,226   | 207,271 | 44,403 |    139GB    | [train.tar.gz](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/opencatalystproject/data/omc/250802/omc_train_250802.tar.gz)     |
| Val     | 1,386,816   | 11,570 | 2,467 |    7.6GB    | [val.tar.gz](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/opencatalystproject/data/omc/250802/omc_val_250802.tar.gz)     |

We also provide further detailed information on all unique initial molecular crystal structures that underwent structural relaxations in [omc25-starting-crystals.csv](https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/OMC25-dataset/resolve/main/omc25-starting-crystals.csv) (description of its columns is shown below).

| Column name | Description |
|---|---|
| `csd_refcode` | CSD reference code of molecule from OE62 dataset |
| `z_value` | Number of molecular formula units in the crystal unit cell |
| `genarris_step` | Sampled from generation (`gener`) or Rigid Press (`press`) step of Genarris 3.0 |
| `xtal.id` | Unique crystal identifier among putative structures from Genarris step |
| `split` | Structure was included in the training (`train`) or validation (`val`) split |
| `nframes` | Number of frames sampled from relaxation trajectory |
| `mol.composition`, `xtal.composition` | Composition of molecule and crystal, respectively |
| `mol.natoms`, `xtal.natoms` | Number of atoms in molecule and crystal unit cell, respectively |
| `mol.mass`, `xtal.mass` | Molar mass in g/mol of molecule and crystal unit cell, respectively |
| `xtal.spacegroup` | Crystal space group with SYMPREC=10<sup>-5</sup> symmetry tolerance |


## How to read the data

The OMC25 datasets can be accessed with the [fairchem](https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairchem) library. The package can be [installed](https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairchem#installation) with:
```
pip install fairchem-core
```

Once installed, a dataset can be read as follows
```python
from fairchem.core.datasets import AseDBDataset

dataset_path = "/path/to/omc25/dir/train"
dataset = AseDBDataset({"src": dataset_path})

# index the dataset to get a structure
atoms = dataset.get_atoms(0)
atomic_positions = atoms.positions
atomic_numbers = atoms.get_atomic_numbers()
```

Structures are stored as ASE [Atoms objects](https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/ase/atoms.html). Each structure contains DFT total energy (eV), force (eV/Å), and stress (eV/Å<sup>3</sup>) labels. Additionally, `atoms.info` contains several other properties and metadata that may be important
for model development:

`atoms.info:`

```
sid: XAZMUI-2-gener-b8a1abc1a6916c7-84 ## Unique structure identifier consisting of information below and also the index of the structure frame in the filtered relaxation trajectory
csd_refcode: XAZMUI ## CSD reference code of molecule from OE62 dataset
z_value: 2 ## Number of molecules in the crystal unit cell
genarris_step: gener ## Sampled from generation (gener) or Rigid Press (press) step of Genarris 3.0
xtal.id: b8a1abc1a6916c7 ## Unique crystal identifier among putative structures from Genarris step
source: omc25_data/dft_relax/batch1/XAZMUI/2/gener/b8a1abc1a6916c7 ## Unique internal identifier
```
