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 (L2)2 has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Ni(II)L2 complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/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)L1 (where (L1)2 is meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-4,11-diacetate) and Ni(II)L2 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)L1 are 38 ± 3 kJ mol1 and -106 ± 9 J K1 mol-1; and for Ni(II)L2 the corresponding values are 41 ± 5 kJ mol1 and 126 ± 15 J K-1 mol-1. Outer-sphere oxidation of Ni(II)L1 by bis-(triazacyclononane)nickel(III) ([Ni(III)(tacn)2]3+) has been studied, and a self-exchange rate constant for the [Ni(II)L1]0/+ system has been estimated at 55 mol1 dm3 s1.Key words: peroxodisulfate, nickel(II), dicarboxylato-pendant arm macrocycles, bis-(triazacyclononane)nickel(III), self-exchange rate.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
