MolLean: A Process-Verifiable Language for Chemical Reasoning

We thereby introduce MolLean, a process-verifiable language that grounds chemical reasoning in an explicit molecular state.

Key points

  • Chemical chain-of-thought can contain hallucinated structural and property claims.
  • A layered Lean-based kernel checks state transitions and assertions over molecular readouts, from primitive graph edits to compound transformations.
  • We further introduce MolLean-MCP, a stateful tool interface that exposes these transitions, checks, and readouts during generation: the model receives feedback to decide its next action, and rejected actions leave the state unchanged.
  • MolLean-MCP complements whole-trace refinement with stepwise verification feedback, reaching better performance in reaction tasks.
