Abstract
Electron-transfer processes that involve single and doubly charged cations of corannulene (C20H10) and coronene (C24H12) are examined by three different mass-spectrometric techniques. Photoionization studies give first-ionization energies of IE(C20H10)=7.83±0.02 eV and IE(C24H12)=7.21 ±0.02 eV. Photoionizations of the neutrals to the doubly charged cations occur at thresholds of 20.1±0.2 eV and 18.5±0.2 eV for corannulene and coronene, respectively. Energy-resolved charge-stripping mass spectrometry yields kinetic energy deficits of Qmin(C20H=13.8±0.3 eV and Qmin(C24H=12.8±0.3 eV for the transitions from the mono- to the corresponding dications in keV collisions. Reactivity studies of the C20H and C24H dications in a selected-ion flow-tube mass spectrometer are used to determine the onsets for the occurrence of single-electron transfer from several neutral reagents to the dications, affording two different monocationic products. With decreasing IEs of the neutral reagents, electron transfer to doubly charged corannulene is first observed with hexafluorobenzene (IE=9.91 eV), while neutrals with lower IEs are required in the case of the coronene dication, e.g., NO2 (IE=9.75 eV). Density-functional theory is used to support the interpretation of the experimental data. The best estimates of the ionization energies evaluated are IE(C20H10)=7.83±0.02 eV and IE(C24H12)=7.21 ±0.02 eV for the neutral molecules, and IE(C20H)=12.3±0.2 eV and IE(C24H)=11.3±0.2 eV for the monocations.

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 it
