Transition state dynamics and a QM/MM model for the Cl<sup></sup> + C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>Cl S<sub>N</sub>2 reaction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A MP2/6-31G* direct dynamics simulation is used to study the dynamics of the central barrier [Cl-C 2 H 5 -Cl] for the Cl + C 2 H 5 S N 2 reaction. The majority of the trajectories move off the central barrier to form the Cl C 2 H 5 Cl complex and appear to undergo efficient IVR as assumed by RRKM theory. However, some of the trajectories move directly to products without forming the complex, a non-RRKM result. A hydrogen atom link-atom QM/MM model is described for studying the dynamics of [X-CH 2 R-Y] central barriers with the -R substituent. The model is used to calculate vibrational frequencies for the [Cl-C 2 H 5 -Cl] central barrier.Key words: S N 2 reaction dynamics, RRKM theory, QM/MM model, central barrier dynamics, direct dynamics classical trajectories.

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.
