Abstract
The xenon and fluorine magnetic shielding tensors, σ, of XeF 2 are characterized using solid-state 129 Xe and 19 F NMR spectroscopy and nonrelativistic and spin−orbit relativistic zeroth-order regular approximation density functional theory (ZORA DFT). Analysis of 129 Xe and 19 F NMR spectra acquired with magic-angle spinning at several spinning rates indicates that the Xe and F magnetic shielding tensors are axially symmetric, as dictated by the crystal symmetry. The isotropic 129 Xe chemical shift is −1603 ± 5 ppm with respect to OXeF 4 (neat liquid, 24 °C) and the Xe magnetic shielding anisotropy, Ω, is 4245 ± 20 ppm, the first anisotropy measured directly for a xenon compound. The parallel component of the experimentally determined xenon chemical shift tensor, δ ∥ = −4433 ppm differs from δ(Xe(free atom)) by ∼1000 ppm, providing the first experimental demonstration that relativistic effects play an important role in the nuclear magnetic shielding for xenon. Both the sign and magnitude of the isotropic indirect 129 Xe, 19 F nuclear spin−spin coupling constant are determined, −5560 ± 50 Hz. Analysis of the 19 F NMR spectra yield Ω(F) = 150 ± 20 ppm. The ZORA DFT method has been employed to calculate σ(Xe) and σ(F) for isolated XeF 2 and XeF 4 molecules, as well as σ(Kr) and σ(F) for an isolated KrF 2 molecule, at the relativistic and nonrelativistic levels of theory. Spin−orbit relativistic DFT results for Ω(Xe) are in very good agreement with those determined experimentally and highlight the importance of relativistic effects.

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
