Exploring the reactivity of manganese(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes with diphenolate-diamino ligands in rac-lactide polymerization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Manganese(III) complexes of tetradentate diphenolate-diamino (NNOO(2-)) ligands were prepared from aerobic reaction of MnCl2 with the respective ligands in basic methanolic solution. Methoxide complexes (NNOO)Mn(OMe)(MeOH)0-1 were obtained for three ligands, while others only provided the respective chloride complexes (NNOO)Mn(Cl)(MeOH). Complexes were analyzed by X-ray diffraction studies and octahedral complexes showed evidence of Jahn-Teller distortions. Magnetic moments determined in MeOD were indicative of high-spin Mn(III)-d(4) complexes (μeff = 4.2-4.6μB). Methoxide complexes were active in the coordination-insertion polymerization of rac-lactide (130 °C, 0.33-1.0 mol% catalyst loading) to yield atactic polylactic acid with moderate molecular weight control. Polymerization activity was reduced, but not suppressed by the presence of protic impurities. Chloride complexes showed less activity and only in the presence of external alcohol, indicative of an activated-monomer mechanism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
