A Socratic prompt might ask: "How do your prior findings on transition metal complexes inform your understanding of ligand selectivity in this system?" In contrast, a non-Socratic prompt such as "What is ligand selectivity?" narrowly focuses on retrieving isolated information. The Socratic prompt facilitates reflective exploration, encouraging the LLM to connect past insights with current challenges, thereby fostering a deeper and more innovative engagement. Socratic Maieutics prompts encourage LLMs to draw connections between foundational knowledge and new challenges, fostering creativity and breakthroughs in chemistry discovery.
