Abstract We present an open Molecular Crystal (MC) database of Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials (MLIP) called MolCryst-MLIPs.

The first release comprises

fine-tuned MACE models for nine molecular crystal systems—Benzamide, Benzoic acid, Coumarin, Durene, Isonicotinamide, Niacinamide, Nicotinamide, Pyrazinamide, and Resorcinol—developed using the Automated Machine Learning Pipeline (AMLP), which streamlines the entire MLIP development workflow, from reference data generation to model training and validation, into a reproducible and user-friendly pipeline. Models are fine-tuned from the MACE-MH-1 foundation model (omol head), yielding a mean energy MAE of 0.141 kJ · mol−1 · atom−1 and a mean force MAE of 0.648 kJ · mol−1 · Å−1 across all systems. Dynamical stability and structural integrity, as assessed through energy conservation, P2 orientational order parameters, and radial distribution functions, are evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations. The released models and datasets constitute a growing open database of validated MLIPs, ready for production MD simulations of molecular crystal polymorphism under different thermodynamic conditions.

Introduction

Polymorphism—the ability of a single chemical compound to crystallize into multiple distinct structures—is a phenomenon of central importance in molecular crystals (MC), with far-reaching implications for pharmaceutical development, where polymorphs of the same compound can differ markedly in solubility, melting point, and bioavailability.[1–4] Molecular crystals are held together by non-covalent interactions, including π–π stacking, C-H· · · π contacts, and hydrogen bonding, which collectively govern the packing arrangement adopted by the crystal. Accurately modelling polymorphism is inherently challenging because crystal stability is primarily governed by these intermolecular non-covalent forces, which must be described with sufficient accuracy to resolve the subtle interplay between intra- and intermolecular interactions that ultimately determines the relative stability of competing crystal forms. Lattice energy differences between polymorphs are typically only a few kJ· mol−1 , and enantiotropic systems may further exhibit stability crossovers as a function of temperature,[5, 6] making polymorph ranking a particularly sensitive test of potential accuracy. Classical force fields, while computationally efficient, often lack the resolution required to discriminate between such energetically close forms or to reliably capture dynamics across varying thermodynamic conditions. High-fidelity structural and energetic data can in principle be obtained from quantum mechanical (QM) methods such as density functional theory

(DFT); however, the high computational cost of DFT—particularly with the tight convergence criteria required for reliable polymorph ranking—restricts its use to small system sizes and short timescales in ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). Machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have emerged as a powerful alternative that bridges this gap: by learning from QM reference data, they achieve accuracy comparable to DFT while enabling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at a fraction of the computational cost. Three critical choices govern MLIP development: the choice of model architecture, the composition and coverage of the training dataset, and whether to train a model from scratch or to fine-tune a pre-existing foundation model. These choices are deeply interconnected: the architecture determines both the data requirements and the accuracy ceiling of the potential, while the amount and diversity of training data needed depends in turn on whether one trains from scratch or leverages an existing foundation model. Training from scratch provides full control over the potential energy surface (PES) but demands large, carefully curated datasets and significant computational effort. Fine-tuning leverages representations already learned by a foundation model trained on broad chemical spaces, substantially reducing data requirements and training cost while retaining high accuracy for the target system.[7] A growing number of such foundation models now exist, each targeting different chemical domains and applications. Among the most recent, UMA[8] and Orb[9] aim at broad coverage spanning both molecular and materials systems, while the MACE Multi-Head Foundation Model (MACE-MH-1)[10] with its omol head—trained on the OMOL dataset of molecular, organic, and organometallic systems[11]—represents the natural choice for molecular crystal applications, as discussed below. While MLIPs have demonstrated remarkable success across atomistic and molecular systems, molecular crystals present a distinct challenge: accurate modelling requires simultaneously capturing strong intramolecular interactions and the subtle non-covalent forces governing polymorph stability. Most existing foundation models were trained predominantly on gas-phase molecules or inorganic solids, leaving the periodic crystal environment underrepresented.[12] This gap is now being actively addressed: the OMC25 dataset[12] provides over 27 million DFT-labelled molecular crystal structures, UMA[8] incorporates a dedicated molecular crystal training subset derived from it, and MACE-MH-1[10] currently achieves the lowest MAE on the X23 molecular crystal benchmark among available foundation models via cross-domain fine-tuning. These developments signal a turning point for MLIP applicability to molecular crystals. Despite these advances, foundation models alone may not reach the accuracy required for demanding tasks such as polymorph ranking or free energy calculations. Fine-tuning on system-specific, high-quality DFT data provides a practical route to close this gap, improving 3

both accuracy and transferability across the polymorphic landscape of a target compound.[7] However, assembling the necessary training data, selecting appropriate hyperparameters, and validating dynamical stability across multiple polymorphs remains an intensive process that typically requires significant expert knowledge—representing a practical barrier for the broader community. Here, we address this challenge by leveraging the Automated Machine Learning Pipeline (AMLP)[13, 14] to systematically fine-tune MACE-MH-1 for nine highly polymorphic molecular crystal systems, demonstrating that the full workflow—from dataset generation to model validation—can be executed in a reproducible and accessible manner. In this work, we introduce MolCryst-MLIPs[15, 16], an open database of validated, readyto-use MLIPs for all molecular crystals. The first release comprises fine-tuned MACE-MH-1 models for nine systems: Benzoic acid[17, 18], Benzamide[19, 20], Coumarin[21], Durene[22– 24], Isonicotinamide[25, 26], Nicotinic acid[27], Niacinamide[27–29], Pyrazinamide[30–32], and Resorcinol[33, 34]. These systems were chosen to represent a chemically diverse set of common polymorphic molecular crystals, and should be considered the starting point of a database intended to grow significantly over time. All models and datasets were developed within the AMLP framework, which automates dataset generation, model training, and validation through a multi-agent architecture, making the development of high-fidelity MLIPs for molecular crystals accessible to a broad research community. By demonstrating consistent accuracy in energies and forces alongside dynamical stability across a chemically diverse set of polymorphic systems, this work establishes both AMLP as a practical tool for accelerating MLIP development and MolCryst-MLIPs as a growing community resource for large-scale MD simulations of molecular crystal polymorphism.

Materials and Methods

All workflows presented in this work—from reference data generation to model training and validation—were orchestrated using AMLP.[13] The pipeline handles DFT input generation, active learning, dataset curation, MACE training configuration, and post-training validation, ensuring reproducibility across diverse molecular systems while significantly reducing the manual effort required for MLIP development. Experimental crystal structures (.cif files) for all polymorphs were obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).[35] AMLP automatically parsed these structures and generated input files for cell or geometry optimizations and AIMD simulations using the Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package (VASP).[36–39] The Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional [40] was employed with Grimme’s D4 dispersion correction,[41] providing an accurate description of the long-range van der Waals interactions 4

critical for molecular crystal energetics.[41] Brillouin-zone sampling was performed using a Γ-centered Monkhorst–Pack mesh with a density automatically adjusted to the dimensions of each unit cell.[42] Cell optimizations were conducted with a plane-wave cutoff energy of 650 eV and a tight electronic convergence criterion (EDIFF = 10−7 eV). AIMD simulations were performed at temperatures ranging from 25 K to 700 K to maximize coverage of the potential energy surface. To further reinforce the models in undersampled regions, an active learning loop was performed: structures that led to simulation failures during NVT runs — using a Berendsen thermostat — were identified, recomputed at the DFT level, and added to the training set. The combined dataset of DFT-optimized structures, AIMD trajectories, and actively learned configurations provides the diverse configurational space essential for training robust and transferable interatomic potentials. To reduce the computational cost and data requirements for MLIP development, we leverage MACE-MH-1[10] with its omol head, selected based on its lowest MAE of 7.41 kJ/mol on the X23 molecular crystal benchmark among all available heads.[10] Fine-tuning preserves the foundation model architecture, enabling efficient transfer learning with significantly reduced training data.[7] Training followed a two-stage protocol combining an initial optimization phase with stochastic weight averaging (SWA), using the Adam optimizer with AMSGrad and early stopping. All models were trained in double precision (float64). Complete hyperparameter configurations are provided in the Supplementary Information (SI). To assess the reliability of each MLIP, we designed a systematic validation protocol automated within the AMLP framework, spanning both static and dynamic regimes. Structural fidelity was first evaluated by comparing DFT-optimized and MACE-optimized geometries across all polymorphs in the training set, as well as on unseen polymorphs to probe transferability beyond the training distribution. Dynamical robustness was then examined through microcanonical (NVE) simulations performed on the most stable polymorph of each system to monitor energy conservation as a direct measure of PES quality. Canonical (NVT) simulations using the Berendsen thermostat were then conducted from room temperature (RT) up to 600 K to assess whether the trained models sustain stable dynamics across the full polymorphic landscape of each system. Since the experimental melting temperatures of the nine compounds span 344–510 K,[43] our simulations deliberately exceed the melting point of all systems, allowing us to probe not only the thermally stable regime but also the onset of structural disordering. As melting temperatures can further vary between polymorphs of the same compound, some forms are expected to lose orientational or structural order before others. Throughout all simulations, radial distribution functions (RDFs) and the orientational order parameter P2 (see Eq. (6) below) were monitored to characterize structural integrity and molecular orientational order within each polymorph. 5

Result and discussion

3.1

Reference Data Generation

The starting geometries for each compound were taken from experimental crystal structures (.cif files) retrieved from the CSD. The dataset was restricted to polymorphs containing at most 8 molecules in the unit cell (Z ≤ 8), as the computational cost of DFT cell relaxation becomes prohibitive for larger systems. Polymorphs with Z > 8 were excluded from the training set but are nonetheless considered in the transferability analysis in Section 3.2, where we assess whether the trained MLIPs can serve as efficient pre-screening tools for geometry/cell optimization prior to costly DFT calculations. Using the AMLP framework, input files for all 65 cell relaxations were generated automatically with a consistent set of DFT parameters. To verify the physical validity of the resulting structures, two metrics were examined: the range of lattice energies across polymorphs, which is not expected to exceed ∼10 kJ mol−1 , defined as Elattice =

Ecrystal − Egas , Z

(1)

where Z is the number of molecules per unit cell, Ecrystal is the total energy of the crystal, and Egas is the energy of an isolated molecule in the gas phase in its global minimum configuration; and the structural deviation between the DFT-relaxed and experimental unit cells. The volumetric contraction is quantified as ∆V =

VDFT − Vexp , Vexp

(2)

where VDFT = det(hDFT ) and Vexp = det(hexp ), with hDFT and hexp being the 3 × 3 matrices whose columns are the lattice vectors of the DFT-optimized and experimental cells, respectively. The full cell deviation, sensitive to both volumetric contraction and angular distortions, is captured by the strain tensor norm −1 ∥F − I∥F ≡ hexp hDFT − I

norm. Since DFT calculations are performed at 0 K while experimental structures are typically determined at room temperature (∼298 K), a uniform contraction of the DFT cell is physically expected due to the absence of thermal expansion, corresponding to ∆V < 0 and ∥F − I∥F > 0. For the nine systems considered, the relative lattice energies between polymorphs span

from as low as 0.09 kJ mol−1 for Durene to 4.64 kJ mol−1 for Resorcinol, with a mean of 2.19 kJ mol−1 (Table 1), well within the physically expected range of below 10 kJ mol−1 . DFT optimizations consistently yielded volumetric contractions ranging from −3.0% to −6.4% across all compounds (mean −4.7%), with strain tensor norms ∥F−I∥F ranging from 0.025 to 0.081 (Table 1), in line with the expected behavior for 0 K calculations against experimental structures. Together, these metrics confirm the physical validity of the DFT-optimized dataset and its suitability as a reference for MLIP training.

To complement the near-equilibrium DFT-optimized structures, extensive off-equilibrium data were generated using AIMD, producing thousands of diverse configurations per polymorph. AMLP was employed to systematically generate AIMD inputs across four temperatures (25 K, 300 K, 400 K, and 500 K) for all 65 polymorphs, yielding a total of 260 trajectories, supplemented by an active learning loop to reinforce undersampled regions of the PES. The expected physical relationship between structural distortion and potential energy—whereby off-equilibrium configurations with larger atomic forces correspond to higher energies, while low-force configurations cluster near the DFT-optimized minima— should manifest as a strong linear correlation between energies and forces across the training set. This is indeed observed for all nine systems, with Pearson r = 0.907–0.949 (see Figure S1 in the SI). The well-populated diagonal in each panel confirms that the training datasets provide balanced coverage across the full energy–force spectrum, from near-equilibrium structures to high-energy configurations sampled during AIMD and active learning. Dataset sizes vary directly with the number of polymorphs per system, ranging from approximately 5,000 configurations for Isonicotinamide (r = 0.941) to over 30,000 for Pyrazinamide (r = 0.907). 7

In total, 113,953 structures were generated across all nine compounds, combining DFToptimized geometries, AIMD trajectories, and actively learned configurations, providing the MACE models with comprehensive sampling of the configurational space relevant to molecular crystal polymorphism. The combined dataset was systematically filtered and curated using the AMLP data curation tools.[13] Three filtering criteria were applied: (i) a DBSCAN-based cluster analysis[65] in the joint energy–force space, which identifies and removes configurations that do not belong to the main data distribution, such as structures arising from DFT convergence failures or anomalous geometries; (ii) a force magnitude cutoff of 10.0 eV/Å to remove structures with unphysical atomic forces; and (iii) an energy-per-atom threshold of 0.2 eV/atom (≈19.3 kJ mol−1 atom−1 ) relative to the per-atom reference energies E0 (see Table S5 in the SI), computed as Eatom = (Ecrystal −

P

i E0,i )/Natoms , where the sum runs over all atoms

in the unit cell according to their chemical species, to exclude structures with anomalously high energies that could destabilize model training. These filtering steps removed outlier configurations while preserving the chemical diversity necessary for robust transferability across polymorphs and temperatures. The curated datasets were finally split into training and validation sets with a ratio of 85/15.

MACE Model Fine-Tuning and Evaluation

Fine-tuning the MACE-MH-1 foundation model yielded highly accurate potentials for all nine systems, as summarized in Table 2. Averaged across all compounds, the energy MAE is 0.141 kJ mol−1 atom−1 , while the forces MAE is 0.648 kJ mol−1 Å−1 , both well within the range required for reliable polymorph ranking and stable MD simulations. All models were trained on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU, with wall-clock training times ranging from approximately 22 h for the smallest datasets to over 100 h for the largest scaling linearly with the number of training configurations (see Table S6 and Figure S4 in the SI).

Table 2 and Figure 1 demonstrate consistently low MAE values for both energies and forces across all systems. In the energy correlation plots, E − ⟨E⟩ denotes the mean-centred energy per atom, where ⟨E⟩ is the mean energy per atom computed independently for each dataset, allowing a direct comparison of the PES shape across systems with different absolute reference energies. Individual per-system correlation plots are provided in Figures S3 and S2 of the Supporting Information. In order to assess whether fine-tuned models can generate a more accurate polymorphic energy landscape than the original foundation model, we compute the relative lattice energy ∆Elatt with respect to the most stable polymorph. The relative lattice energy for polymorph i is defined as: ∆Elatt,i = Elatt,i − min Elatt,j j

(4)

where the minimum is taken over all polymorphs within the common evaluation set. The reference zero is set independently for each method, so that Eq. (4) measures the relative stability ranking predicted by each MLIP rather than absolute energetic agreement with DFT. Starting from the DFT cell-optimised structures, geometries are fully relaxed with each MLIP model. Optimizations were carried out using the amlpa.py module from AMLP, based on the ASE framework[66] with the LBFGS optimizer and a force convergence criterion of fmax = 0.001 eV/Å. In Figure 2, polymorphs are labeled with Roman numerals (I, II, . . . ) in order of increasing DFT stability for clarity; the corresponding CSD reference codes are provided in Table S7 in the SI. The relative lattice energies for four representative systems are shown in Figure 2. The

9

MACE-MH-1 foundation model with the omol head consistently fails to discriminate between polymorphs, predicting either a nearly flat energy landscape — as seen for Coumarin and Pyrazinamide — or a qualitatively incorrect stability ordering, as in Niacinamide where the foundation model places the low-energy forms at over 7 kJ mol−1 above the true minimum. This failure is expected: the sub-kJ mol−1 energy differences that govern polymorph stability lie well below the resolution of a model trained on broad chemical space without system-specific data. In contrast, the fine-tuned MolCryst-MLIPs models recover the correct DFT stability ranking in all four of these systems. For Coumarin, the fine-tuned model correctly identifies the near-degenerate cluster of polymorphs at ∼1.5 kJ mol−1 above the global minimum. For Niacinamide and Pyrazinamide, the relative ordering across the full polymorph set is in good qualitative agreement with DFT, with energy spreads of the correct magnitude. For Isonicotinamide, the omol foundation model predicts a stability ranking that is inverted relative to DFT, incorrectly stabilising forms II–IV near zero while placing the true global minimum (form I) at ∼3.2 kJ mol−1 . Fine-tuning with the MolCryst-MLIPs dataset fully corrects this inversion, recovering the DFT ranking with form I as the most stable polymorph and the remaining forms correctly placed at ∼3.5 kJ mol−1 above it. These results demonstrate that targeted fine-tuning on system-specific DFT data is a prerequisite for reliable polymorph discrimination with MLIPs. The MolCryst-MLIPs finetuned models recover a capability that is entirely inaccessible to foundation models, correctly ranking polymorphs in systems where the foundation model predicts a completely flat or inverted energy landscape.

Polymorphs are ordered by increasing DFT stability. For each polymorph, the DFT reference (colored bar), the MolCrystMLIPs fine-tuned MACE model (faded colored bar), and the MACE-MH-1 foundation model (omol head, dashed black line) are shown. The reference zero is set independently for each method to the most stable polymorph within the common evaluation set. To further assess the robustness of the trained models, we performed cell optimizations on all experimental .cif structures available in the CSD, including polymorphs that were excluded from the training set due to the high number of molecules in their unit cell—for example, one benzamide polymorph contains 32 molecules and one Niacinamide form contains 40 molecules, making QM calculations too expensive. Optimizations were carried out using the same procedure as above. Figure 3 shows the relative lattice energy ∆Elatt as a function of density for the nine systems. For all systems shown, structures converged to physically meaningful geometries, with densities and relative lattice energy ranges consistent with experimental expectations, though the spread varies across systems. These results confirm that the trained models are sufficiently robust to serve as a computationally efficient 11

starting point for structural refinement prior to DFT calculations, or to generate diverse candidate structures for crystal structure exploration. Detailed information about the relative lattice energies for all systems can be found in Table S8 in the SI.

Dynamical Stability for Molecular Dynamics

To assess whether the trained models support stable MD simulations, a series of dynamical benchmarks were performed. To limit finite-size effects, all unit cells were replicated to reach a minimum dimension of 25 Å in each direction prior to any simulation. The most stable polymorph of each system, as determined by DFT lattice energy, was selected for microcanonical (NVE) ensemble simulations to evaluate energy conservation. Energetic stability was quantified through the cumulative drift of the instantaneous total energy, defined as: ∆E =

|E(0)|

,

(5)

where E(0) is the reference energy at the beginning of the analysis period (after equilibration), Ek is the total energy at step k, and Nstep is the number of simulation steps.[67] Energies were recorded every 10 steps, corresponding to a logging interval of 5 fs. Simulations were performed using the amlpa.py module from AMLP, which enables configurable MD runs through a single config.yaml input file. All NVE simulations ran for 25 ps with 12

a timestep of 0.5 fs. All nine models demonstrate excellent energy conservation, with the cumulative drift remaining in the 10−7 range throughout the simulations.

Figure 4: Cumulative energy drift ∆E from NVE simulations following 1 ps of equilibration, shown for the most stable polymorph of nine systems. Solid lines represent the cumulative drift, while shaded regions reflect instantaneous deviations. Following the NVE energy conservation tests, the thermal stability of each model was assessed through canonical (NVT) MD simulations using the Berendsen thermostat, with a timestep of 0.5 fs and a total simulation time of 25 ps, again using the amlpa.py module from AMLP. One simulation was performed per polymorph at each of the three target temperatures (300 K, 500 K, and 600 K), and structural integrity was monitored by tracking the temperature stability throughout each trajectory. To assess the structural integrity of each polymorph throughout the NVT simulations, an orientational order parameter P2 analysis was performed. This parameter is defined as *

P2 = C N

+ X

p2 (cos(θij )) =

i>j

*

 CN X  3 cos2 θij − 1 2 i>j

+

(6)

where θij is the angle between molecular plane normal vectors for molecules i and j, CN = 2/N (N − 1), p2 (x) = (3x2 − 1)/2 is the second-order Legendre polynomial, and the angular brackets ⟨· · · ⟩ denote an NVT ensemble average. A value of P2 ≈ 1 indicates a highly ordered crystalline arrangement, while a significant drop towards zero signals either a conformational change or a loss of crystal integrity. Pyrazinamide is used here as an illustrative example, owing to its large polymorphic landscape of 14 distinct forms, which provides a comprehensive test of the model’s ability to maintain the structural identity of each polymorph across the full range of simulated temperatures. As depicted in Figure 5, which shows the instantaneous values of P2 over several NVT trajectories, all polymorphs of Pyrazinamide (PYRZIN) maintain their orientational order throughout the simulations. An average value of P2 = −0.5 corresponds to perfect perpendicular alignment, characteristic of PYRZIN14, PYRZIN18, and PYRZIN23. A value 13

Each line corresponds to a distinct polymorph. near zero indicates random orientational disorder, as observed for PYRZIN17, whose general packing cannot be assigned to a well-defined motif. Values between 0.1 and 0.2 are indicative of a herringbone packing arrangement, as seen for PYRZIN05, while values above 0.4 correspond to parallel packing, which characterises the remaining polymorphs. Benzoic acid exhibits parallel stacking across all its polymorphs as depicted in Figure 6, with instantaneous P2 values ranging from 0.86 to 0.92. At 300 K and 500 K, all forms remain orientationally stable. At 600 K, however, BENZAC20 and BENZAC22 lose their structural integrity, consistent with these polymorphs reaching their thermal stability limit near or below 600 K. The remaining polymorphs retain well-defined P2 values over the NVT trajectory at this temperature. Complete P2 analyses for all nine systems are provided in the Supporting Information (see Figures S6 to S11). Coumarin (COUMAR) shows predominantly perpendicular alignment with a subset of parallel-stacked forms; notably, at 600 K COUMAR14 undergoes a reorientation to a distinct packing motif, consistent with this polymorph approaching its thermal stability limit. Durene (DURENE) presents a similar bimodal picture, with DURENE01 and DURENE05 adopting perpendicular stacking (average P2 ≈ −0.5) and DURENE06 a parallel arrangement. For Isonicotinamide (EHOWIH), a herringbone packing is observed for EHOWIH, EHOWIH01, and EHOWIH07 (average P2 ≈ 0.35), while EHOWIH03 adopts parallel stack14

EHOWIH shows larger P2 fluctuations already at 300 K, suggesting an incipient thermal effect on orientational order at this temperature. Niacinamide (NICOAM) remains stable across most of its polymorphs, which predominantly adopt perpendicular stacking arrangements. For Benzamide (BZAMID), the majority of polymorphs lose their orientational order at 600 K, with only BZAMID16 retaining a well-defined instantaneous P2 values over the NVT trajectory at this temperature. RDFs were computed for each polymorph, with atomic pairs elected to probe both intramolecular bonding integrity and intermolecular packing independently. Figure 7 illustrates this for two representative systems: Pyrazinamide and Resorcinol. For both compounds, intramolecular integrity is assessed through C–N and C–O pair correlations respectively, whose sharp first peaks confirm that covalent bonding geometry is preserved throughout the simulations. Intermolecular packing is probed through O–O correlations, which are sensitive to arrangements between molecules. As expected, RDF peaks broaden progressively with increasing temperature, reflecting thermal fluctuations, while the overall peak positions and structural motifs of each polymorph are preserved—confirming that the models keep structural integrity well within the simulated temperature range. The complete RDF analyses for all nine systems are provided in the Supporting Information (see Figures S12 to S23), and are consistent with the structural picture established by the P2 analysis. Overall, all trained models demonstrate stable dynamics across the full 15

Where orientational order is lost at elevated temperatures, this reflects the known thermal stability limits of the corresponding crystal forms.

Conclusion

We have presented a set of fine-tuned MACE-based MLIPs for nine polymorphic molecular crystals, developed within the AMLP framework using high-quality DFT reference data. The accuracy of the underlying DFT dataset was validated through systematic analysis of unit cell volume contractions, yielding a mean contraction of −4.7% consistent with the 0 K nature of DFT optimizations, and through relative lattice energy differences between polymorphs, which remain within the physically expected range of below 10 kJ mol−1 . Fine-tuning of foundation models is essential for system-specific applications in molecular crystal polymorphism: while foundation models lack the resolution to discriminate between polymorphs of the same compound, targeted fine-tuning on DFT data recovers this capability and yields potentials that correctly rank polymorph stabilities. Beyond energy discrimination, the fine-tuned models demonstrate strong transferability outside the train16

ing set, successfully optimizing the geometry and unit cell of experimental crystal structures not included during training — including large-cell polymorphs that would be prohibitively expensive to relax at the DFT level. The resulting structures exhibit physically consistent densities and relative lattice energy rankings in good agreement with the DFT reference, suggesting that these potentials can serve as efficient pre-relaxation tools that significantly reduce the computational cost of subsequent DFT calculations. Dynamical validation through NVE simulations confirmed excellent energy conservation, with cumulative drift values on the order of 10−7 across all systems. Canonical NVT simulations demonstrated that all models sustain stable dynamics across most of the polymorphic landscape of each compound, as corroborated by P2 orientational order parameter analysis and RDFs. Taken together, these results establish the MolCryst-MLIPs database [15, 16] as a first release of validated, transferable potentials for large-scale MD simulations of organic crystal polymorphism. The models represent strong starting points for further fine-tuning on system-specific datasets, for accelerating DFT geometry convergence, or for free energy calculations based on the harmonic or quasi-harmonic approximation, where the reduced computational cost relative to AIMD or DFT finite-displacement methods offers a significant practical advantage. Crucially, the accompanying DFT datasets are released alongside the potentials: given the rapid pace of development in the MLIP community, where new foundation models with broader chemical coverage and improved accuracy continue to emerge, these curated datasets provide a ready-to-use resource for fine-tuning any future model to the molecular crystal domain without the need to regenerate expensive DFT reference data from scratch. By continuously integrating new compounds and polymorphic systems within the AMLP framework, the database will provide the community with a growing library of high-fidelity potentials and training data spanning a broad chemical space, substantially lowering the barrier to entry for researchers seeking to perform crystal structure exploration or large-scale MD simulations — and ensuring that the investment in DFT data generation remains reusable as the landscape of available foundation models continues to evolve.

Dataset Energy-Force Distributions

Figure S1 shows 2D density plots of energy per atom versus mean atomic force magnitude for each compound. All datasets exhibit strong positive correlations (r > 0.9), consistent with the expected physical relationship between configuration energy and atomic forces, confirming the internal consistency of the DFT reference data across both near- and offequilibrium regions.

Each panel shows the 2D histogram of energy per atom versus mean atomic force magnitude, with color indicating configuration count. Red lines show linear fits, and Pearson correlation coefficients (r) are indicated.

Isolated Atom Energies

The following isolated atom reference energies (E0s) were used for all systems containing H, C, N, and O. Each was computed with VASP for a single atom in a large cubic box, using the PBE functional (ENCUT = 850 eV, Γ-point only, PREC = High, EDIFF = 10−6 eV), with spin polarization enabled for open-shell atoms (C, N, O) following Hund’s first rule.

To validate the transferability of the fine-tuned MACE models beyond the training data, we performed geometry optimizations on all experimental polymorphs from the Cambridge Structural Database using the trained potentials. Figure S5 shows the relative lattice energy (∆Elatt ) versus density for each system, where energies are referenced to the most stable polymorph (set to zero).
