Abstract
The second-order DFT approach of Schreckenbach and Ziegler to the computation of EPR g tensors of doublet radicals ( J. Phys. Chem. A 1997, 101, 3388), has been generalized to arbitrary spatially nondegenerate electronic states. The new technique is applied to a large number (47) of diatomic main-group radicals, in n Σ ( n > 2) ground states. Calculated principal components, of the EPR g tensors, are in a good agreement with experiment for main group radicals, with the average errors approaching the accuracy available in experimental matrix isolation studies (VWN average absolute error: 3.8 ppt). The agreement with experiment deteriorates for the mixed, main group−transition metal radicals (VWN error: 8.1 ppt) but the major trends in Δ g ⊥ values are still reproduced. The approach largely breaks down for radicals containing chemical bonds between two transition metal atoms (VWN error: 30 ppt). In all cases, the calculated g tensors are insensitive to the choice of the approximate exchange-correlation functional, with the simple VWN LDA, and gradient-corrected BP86 and RPBE functionals, giving essentially identical results. As an example of the possible future applications of the technique, we examine the g -tensor of the first 3 B u excited state of the trans- cation. Our calculations for this systems agree well with the experimental results, both for the magnitudes, and for the orientations of the principal components.

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 it
