The Brønsted-Lowry Reaction Revisited: Glass-Forming Properties of Salts of 1,5-Dimexylbiguanide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ionic molecular glasses can be conveniently prepared by reacting 1,5-dimexylbiguanide with a wide variety of carboxylic and sulfonic acids. A library of 51 salts has been prepared and studied by differential scanning calorimetry, 25 of which readily form glassy phases and do not recrystallize upon heating or standing. The crystal structures of 1,5-dimexylbiguanide and six of its salts have been solved and studied, and show extended hydrogen-bonded networks. Curiously, 1,5-dimexylbiguanide, which is extremely stable toward crystallization, crystallized in a close-packed, regular structure, unlike most related glass-forming compounds. This apparent paradox was probed with density functional theory calculations which revealed the presence of two conformers of similar energy, thus contributing to frustrate crystallization.

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.
