Perchlorophenalenyl radical, C<sub>13</sub>Cl<sub>9</sub>: a modulated structure with nine threefold-symmetric molecules in the asymmetric unit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The odd-alternant perchlorophenalenyl radical, C13Cl9, forms molecular stacks centered on crystallographic threefold rotation axes, but the spacing within the stacks (3.78 A) is too large to allow good overlap of the orbitals in which the spin density is localized. The radical is ruffled because of the intramolecular repulsions between alpha Cl atoms (the Cl...Cl peri interactions); the average displacement of an alpha Cl atom from the molecular plane is approximately 0.7 A. The deviations from molecular planarity do not, however, determine the spacing within the stacks, which is determined instead by interactions between stacks. The modulations found in the P3c1 superstructure are a response to the short interstack contacts that would occur in the average pseudocell structure (R3;m, c' = c/6). The primary modulation is a pattern of enantiomeric alternation; a secondary modulation involves small rotations of the molecules around their threefold axes. The number (9) of independent molecules in the true cell is exceptionally large because of the conflict between the preference within the molecular stacks for threefold rotational symmetry and the preference in directions perpendicular to the stack axes for twofold alternation of enantiomers. The structural complexity reduces the precision of the distances and angles determined, but the average values found are in excellent agreement with those calculated by density functional theory.

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.
