Structure and redox kinetics of nickel(II) tetraazamacrocycles containing pendant carboxylate groups
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The nickel(II) complex of the deprotonated pendant-arm macrocycle 5,12-dimethyl-7,14-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-4,11-diacetate (L 2 ) 2 has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Ni(II)L 2 complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2 1 /c, with a = 12.981(8), b = 16.474(6), c = 14.262(7) Å and β = 98.81(4)°. The complex shows a distorted cis-geometry about the metal centre, the macrocyclic ligand being folded about a N-Ni-N axis, with the pendant arms coordinated cis to one another. The Ni(II)L 1 (where (L 1 ) 2 is meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-4,11-diacetate) and Ni(II)L 2 complexes undergo reversible one-electron oxidation, with redox potentials of 0.717 and 0.766 V (vs. S.H.E.), respectively. Chemical oxidation of the complexes by peroxodisulfate obey overall second-order rate laws. Enthalpies and entropies of activation for Ni(II)L 1 are 38 ± 3 kJ mol 1 and -106 ± 9 J K 1 mol -1 ; and for Ni(II)L 2 the corresponding values are 41 ± 5 kJ mol 1 and 126 ± 15 J K -1 mol -1 . Outer-sphere oxidation of Ni(II)L 1 by bis-(triazacyclononane)nickel(III) ([Ni(III)(tacn) 2 ] 3+ ) has been studied, and a self-exchange rate constant for the [Ni(II)L 1 ] 0/+ system has been estimated at 55 mol 1 dm 3 s 1 .Key words: peroxodisulfate, nickel(II), dicarboxylato-pendant arm macrocycles, bis-(triazacyclononane)nickel(III), self-exchange rate.

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.
