Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mixed amidinato amido complexes [Me3SiNC(tBu)NSiMe3]M[N(SiMe3)2] (M = Sn 2, Ge 3) were prepared by the reaction of [Me3SiNC(tBu)NSiMe3]Li (1a) with SnCl2 and GeCl2(dioxane) in ether. The N(SiMe3)2 ligand in these compounds is derived from the rearrangement of the [Me3SiNC(tBu)NSiMe3]- anion with extrusion of tBuCN. The susceptibility of [Me3SiNC(tBu)NSiMe3]- to rearrangement appears to be dependent on reaction solvent and on the coordinated metal center. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 2 and 3 are presented. Replacement of Me for tBu in the ligand allowed [Me3SiNC(Me)NSiMe3]2SnII (4) to be isolated, and an X-ray structure of this compound is reported. The isolation of 4 indicates that steric factors also play a role in the stability of [Me3SiNC(tBu)NSiMe3]-. Compounds 2 and 3 are outstanding catalysts for the cyclotrimerization of phenyl isocyanates to perhydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triones (isocyanurates) at room temperature. In contrast, complex 4 catalytically reacts with phenyl isocyanate to produce isocyanate dimer and trimer in a 52:35 ratio.

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.
