Collection index: [llms.txt](<https://www.sota2.com/research/llms.txt>)

Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:21:05.924Z

Evaluation of model performance on the property optimization task using the test split of the ZINC250K dataset, measured by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order metrics.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Property Optimization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ZINC250K (test) |
| Metric | 1st Order Metric |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 33 of 33 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [1st Order Metric](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/property-optimization-on-zinc250k-test.md?metric=1st%20Order%20Metric>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [2nd Order Metric](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/property-optimization-on-zinc250k-test.md?metric=2nd%20Order%20Metric>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [3rd Order Metric](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/property-optimization-on-zinc250k-test.md?metric=3rd%20Order%20Metric>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
