| contents | Plasmonic nanocavities are molecule-nanoparticle junctions that offer a promising approach to upconvert terahertz radiation into visible or near-infrared light, enabling nanoscale detection at room temperature. However, the identification of molecules with strong terahertz-to-visible frequency upconversion efficiency is limited by the availability of suitable compounds in commercial databases. Here, we employ the generative autoregressive deep neural network, G-SchNet, to perform property-driven design of novel monothiolated molecules tailored for terahertz radiation detection. To design functional organic molecules, we iteratively bias G-SchNet to drive molecular generation towards highly active and synthesizable molecules based on machine learning-based property predictors, including molecular fingerprints and state-of-the-art neural networks. We study the reliability of these property predictors for generated molecules and analyze the chemical space and properties of generated molecules to identify trends in activity. Finally, we filter generated molecules and plan retrosynthetic routes from commercially available reactants to identify promising novel compounds and their most active vibrational modes in terahertz-to-visible upconversion. |
