Inclusion Potential, Polymorphism, and Molecular Isomerism of Metal Dibenzoylmethanates Coordinated with 2-Methylpyridine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, new complexes of metal(II) (Ni, Zn, Cd) dibenzoylmethanates (DBMs) coordinated with 2-methylpyridine (2-MePy) were prepared and studied for host properties as a function of their structure and molecular isomerism. The novel [Ni(2-MePy) 2 (DBM) 2 ] complex host exists as the trans isomer in five structurally distinct phases comprising two guest-free polymorphs as well as inclusion compounds with benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, and toluene. All architectures arise from van der Waals packing, the host materials having guest species located in channels or cages. The stability of inclusions correlates with the shape of the cavity space. For zinc dibenzoylmethanate only one 2-MePy unit coordinates to give the [Zn(2-MePy)(DBM) 2 ] complex that does not exhibit inclusion properties. With cadmium dibenzoylmethanate, two polymorphic forms of the composition [Cd(2-MePy) 2 (DBM) 2 ] were isolated. A metastable form contains complex molecules in the trans isomeric state, while a stable form contains cis isomers. As earlier, the ability to form clathrates was attributed only to trans-configured molecules of this type; the presence of a more stable cis form, with a trans-to-cis phase conversion enthalpy gain of as much as 17.2(6) kJ/mol, explains the failure to isolate any inclusion compounds of the Cd complex. The precedent of isolating both cis and trans isomers for the same complex of metal dibenzoylmethanate host is discussed in the context of designing novel materials where the potential for inclusion may be switched through molecular-level control of the isomeric state.

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.
