Bibliographic record
Abstract
Octahedral complexes of transition metal ions with d(2) and d(8) electron configurations have triplet electronic states with identical T(2g), A(2g), T(1g)((3)F), and T(1g)((3)P) symmetry labels. CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations indicate the predominant electronic configurations for each triplet state. The two (3)T(1g) states show strong configuration mixing in the d(8) complex [Ni(H(2)O)(6)](2+), but much weaker mixing occurs between these states in the d(2) compound [V(H(2)O)(6)](3+). Calculated vibrational frequencies and equilibrium geometries for the triplet states are used to obtain theoretical absorption spectra that are in agreement with the experimental data.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
