摘要

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are tunable porous materials that have been widely studied for gas adsorption, separation, and catalysis. Predicting and classifying the pore-limiting diameter (PLD) are valuable for rational MOF screening and design. Here, we develop an ensemble machine-learning pipeline: Random Forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) to classify pore classes and regress PLD using a curated dataset derived from the Cambridge Structural Database. To address class imbalance across pore classes, we evaluate TomekLinks, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), and SMOTETomek. Among the resampling strategies, RF provided the strongest overall performance, and the RF+TomekLinks configuration delivered the best balance between classification and regression. On the held-out test set, the best model achieved \(R^2\) R 2 up to 0.999 with RMSE as low as 0.124 Å  for PLD regression. Feature-importance analysis indicated that both metal-center elemental properties and linker-related topological descriptors contribute substantially to PLD prediction. Applicability-domain assessment using leverage/Williams-plot analysis shows that most test structures lie within the modeled domain, whereas out-of-domain cases are explicitly flagged. Overall, the proposed workflow enables accurate, domain-aware PLD estimation to support high-throughput MOF screening; nevertheless, external validation of independent MOF collections and uncertainty quantification remain important for broader deployment.
