Alkynylcyclohexanol Chairs and Twist-Boats: Co<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>6</sub>as a Conformational Switch
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Treatment of 1-[axial]-(trimethylsilylethynyl)cyclohexan-1-ol with dicobalt octacarbonyl results in a conformational ring flip such that the bulky dicobalt-alkyne cluster moiety now occupies the favored equatorial site. However, when a 4-tert-butyl substituent is present, the coordinated alkynyl group retains its original axial or equatorial position. Complexation of trans-[diaxial]-1,4-bis(triphenylsilylethynyl)cyclohexane-1,4-diol brings about a chair-to-chair conformational inversion such that both cluster fragments now occupy equatorial sites. In contrast, cis-1,4-bis(triphenylsilylethynyl)cyclohexane-1,4-diol reacts with Co(2)(CO)(8) to yield the twist-boat conformer in which the two axial hydroxy substituents exhibit intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. Likewise, the corresponding reaction of cis-1,4-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)cyclohexane-1,4-diol with Co(2)(CO)(8) leads to a twist-boat, but in this case, the molecules are linked through inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. Eight of these cobalt clusters have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, and the potential use of twist-boats in synthesis is discussed.

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.
