AbstractDescription of molecular stereostructure is critical for the machine learning prediction of asymmetric catalysis. Herein we report a spherical projection descriptor of molecular stereostructure (SPMS), which allows precise representation of the molecular van der Waals (vdW) surface. The key features of SPMS descriptor are presented using the examples of chiral phosphoric acid, and the machine learning application is demonstrated in Denmark’s dataset of asymmetric thiol addition to N-acylimines. In addition, SPMS descriptor also offers a color-coded diagram that provides straightforward chemical interpretation of the steric environment.

The title compound, C24H18Br2N4O2·H2O, forms a supramolecular structure via N—H...O, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the water molecule serves as a bifurcated hydrogen-bond acceptor and as a hydrogen-bond donor.
