Dear Henrique, Yes, my previous representation looks like a Z-matrix format (BTW in scikit-learn you will need to have the same number of columns at every line, so you will need to fill somehow the first line). However, I will take this email as the opportunity to stress the fact that you do not have to stick to a specific file format, but the the features/columns/(2nd index of a 2D matrix) they have to represent the properties/parameters that they will directly affect changes in what you are trying to predict. In fact in your columns you can even add more features compared to the priviosly cited and probably you will describe the system in a better way. What I can think right now, just for the seak of a better explanation, you can use: bond lenght, atoms type, number of unpaired electrons, total number of electrons, diedral angle of the two atoms, number of atoms between the pair (e.g. if you have Mn--O--Mn there is an oxygen between the two Mn that you might want to look at the coupling) and so on and so forth. The number of parameters you will have to use will solely depend on your system and what you need to describe, but it will not affect in any case scikit-learn routines. Basically every 2D matrix of number will work on scikil-learn, but in order to make these number to have physical meaning that will depend on what the number represent.
