Abstract:
Compound series with different core structures that contain pairs of analogs with corresponding substitution patterns and similar activity represent structure-activity relationship (SAR) transfer events. On the basis of the matched molecular pair (MMP) formalism and linear regression analysis of compound potencies, a general approach is introduced for the identification of SAR transfer series (SAR-TS) and SAR-TS with regular potency progression (SAR-TS-RP). We have systematically extracted such series from public domain compound data and analyzed their size distribution and structural characteristics. More than 900 SAR-TS and 500 SAR-TS-RP with high-confidence potency annotations were identified in various compound activity classes. These series provide a substantial knowledge base for the analysis and prediction of SAR transfer and are made publicly available.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
