Making Claude a chemist
Summary
Anthropic evaluates Claude's ability to assist chemists with NMR analysis and structure elucidation, comparing its performance to traditional NMR tools. Results show Claude 4.7 achieving competitive forward NMR predictions and capable inverse elucidation in many cases, while highlighting limitations such as small sample size and focus on 1D NMR. The post outlines bottlenecks and future directions for AI-assisted chemistry workflows.
