Stable Ion NMR and GIAO-DFT Study of Novel Cations from 8,16-Dicyano[2.2]metacyclophanedienes and from Strategically Substituted/Benzannelated Dihydropyrenes: Charge-Induced Tropicity Modulation and π-Switching
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dicyanometacyclophanediene 1 is diprotonated at the cyano groups (1H2 2+) in various superacid media. Upon quenching, intact 1 and the ring-closed CPD 2 were obtained in a 3:2 or 3:1 ratio, depending on the superacid system. Compound 2 undergoes ring opening in the superacid to give the ipso-monoprotonated 2H+, which on quenching furnishes 1-cyanopyrene as a major product together with 2 and 1. The dication 3 2+, with strongly deshielded internal methyls, was generated from the epoxyannulene 3. Ketones 4-6 and ester 7 are O/C diprotonated to give paratropic carboxonium-annulenium dications (4H2 2+, 5H2 2+, 6H2 2+, and 7H2 2+, respectively). Ester 8 gives a trication by two-electron oxidation and O-protonation. Conjugated carboxylic acid 9 gives a mixture of two dications by CO and ring protonation. The dibromo derivatives 10 and 11 form carboxonium ions, whereas the monobromo derivative 12 is O/C diprotonated to give an oxonium-annulenium dication. Charge delocalization modes and tropicity in the resulting species are evaluated by NMR and GIAO-DFT. Facile formation of 2 from 1 in quenching experiments indicates that thermal closing can be achieved with the diprotonated dinitrile, without imposing skeletal rearrangement.

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.
