Probably not too bad of an idea. What you're talking about is advancing science for sure. Yeah you might hit the "open source" trigger but it's molecules not code. Even if you get turned down you should be able to appeal quite readily and make sure that you explain that this is Science(tm) and "open source" is merely a handy analogy by which people understand that you're making the results available very publicly, for all to use.

If that's not science, I don't know what is.
