Carbonyl-Amplified Catalyst Performance: Balancing Stability against Activity for Five-Coordinate Ruthenium Hydride and Hydridocarbonyl Catalysts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The activity of RuHCl(H 2 )(PCy 3 )(L) 2a/b and RuHCl(CO)(PCy 3 )(L) 3a/b ( a: L = PCy 3; b: L = IMes; IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene) was assessed in hydrogenation of a range of molecular and polymeric olefins and in hydrogenation and isomerization of allylbenzene. Elevated temperatures and/or high H 2 pressures are required for efficient hydrogenation. Under these conditions, 3a/b outperform their dihydrogen analogues in both total productivity and turnover frequencies, despite theoretical and experimental evidence that the π-acid CO ligand should be deactivating. A thermolysis study reveals that the CO complexes are much less susceptible to deactivation under conditions relevant to catalysis (also, the IMes derivative 2b is shorter-lived than 2a ). We attribute the superior performance of 3a/b to their greater stability, which maintains higher concentrations of active catalyst than that possible for their H 2 analogues over the time scale of hydrogenation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
