Materials Chemistry and Physics, 339, 130786.0254-0584https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12939/5776The selenium-based compounds are gaining significance for their surface-enhanced properties. In order to accelerate their discovery, a machine learning (ML) approach has been employed to predict their structural correlations. For this a dataset of 618 compounds is collected from literature and is trained by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with its Linear Kernal. Among ten ML evaluated models, three top-performing models are selected to make predictions for their stability energy. A Convex Hull Distribution (CHD) is constructed to elucidate the relationship for their stability and structural correlations. The main finding of this study reveals its strong correlation between stability and its related structural descriptors, particularly Bertz Branching Index" corrected for the number of Terminal atoms (BertzCT), Partial Equalization of Orbital Electronegativities-Van der Waals Surface Area with 14 bins (PEOE_VSA14), and First-Order Connectivity Index (chi 1). The analysis demon strates that the current ML models can effectively predict the stability of such materials to enable their rapid screening. Their calculations can provide a framework to understand their complex relationships between their material properties, structure, and stability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConvex hull diagramMachine learningSelenidesStabilityStructural correlationsSurface-enhanced materialsArticle10.1016/j.matchemphys.2025.1307863392-s2.0-105000983997Q1WOS:001458109300001Q2
