Disilver(I) Macrocycles: Variation of Cavity Size with Anion Binding
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reaction of the N-methylated bis(amidopyridine) ligand, LL = C6H4(1,3-CONMe-4-C5H4N)2, with the silver salts AgNO3, AgO2CCF3, AgO3SCF3, AgBF4, and AgPF6 gave the corresponding cationic disilver(I) macrocycles [Ag2(micro-LL)2]X2, 2a-e. The transannular silver...silver distance in the macrocycles varies greatly from 2.99 to 7.03 A, and these differences arise through a combination of different modes ofanion binding and from the presence or absence of silver...silver secondary bonding. In all complexes, the ligand adopts a conformation in which the methyl group and oxygen atom of the MeNCO units are mutually cis, but the overall macrocycle can exist in either boat (X = PF6 only) or chair conformation. Short transannular silver...silver distances are found in complexes 2b,c, in which the anions CF3CO2- and CF3SO3- bind above and below the macrocycle, but longer silver...silver distances are found for 2a,d,e, in which the anions are present, at least in part, inside the disilver macrocycle. Easy anion exchange occurs in solution, and studies using ESI-MS indicate that the anion binding to form [Ag2X(micro-LL)2]+ follows the sequence X = CF3CO2- > NO3- > CF3SO3-.

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.
