# MoleculeNet FreeSolv

FreeSolv (Free Solvation Database) dataset [[1]](#1), part of MoleculeNet [[2]](#2) benchmark. It is intended to be used through 
[scikit-fingerprints](https://github.com/scikit-fingerprints/scikit-fingerprints) library.

The task is to predict hydration free energy of small molecules in water. Targets are in kcal/mol.
