PoreMatMod.jl

A find-and-replace tool for crystal structure models. implements (i) subgraph matching and (ii) point set alignment to search a parent crystal for a query fragment, then align and install a replacement fragment in its place.

PoreMatMod.jl is a Julia package for (i) subgraph matching and (ii) modifying crystal structures such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Functioning as a "find-and-replace" tool on atomistic crystal structure models of porous materials, PoreMatMod.jl is useful for:

๐Ÿ”จ subgraph matching to filter databases of crystal structures

๐Ÿ”จ constructing hypothetical crystal structure models of functionalized structures

๐Ÿ”จ introducing defects into crystal structures

๐Ÿ”จ repairing artifacts of X-ray structure determination, such as missing hydrogen atoms, disorder, and guest molecules

N.b. while PoreMatMod.jl was developed for MOFs and other porous crystalline materials, its find-and-replace operations can be applied to discrete, molecular structures as well by assigning an arbitrary unit cell.
