Hydrogen-bond-supported dimeric boron complexes of potentially tetradentate β-diketiminate ligands
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two dimeric boron complexes of potentially tetradentate and trianionic β-diketiminate ligands bearing phenol substituents were prepared and characterized. The synthetic routes employed were designed to circumvent the undesirable formation of β-ketimines and 2-methylbenzoxazoles observed when traditional synthetic routes toward the target β-diketiminate ligands were attempted. The title complexes were isolated via demethylation of β-diketimine ligands and boron difluoride complexes bearing 2-anisole N-aryl substituents using boron tribromide. The resulting complexes were found to contain a unique hydrogen-bond-supported boron-oxygen-boron bridge, as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The stability of the resulting dimeric structures relative to the corresponding monomeric, tetradentate boron complexes was studied computationally, and theory confirmed that the dimeric structures were strongly favored. The absorption spectra of the dimers were red-shifted relative to the parent β-diketimine ligands. The complexes were irreversibly oxidized and reduced electrochemically and were weakly emissive at low concentrations (Stokes shifts between 23 and 31 nm), showing little solvent dependence.

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.
