Abstract
We have presented a systematic experimental and theoretical investigation of the carbonyl oxygen electric-field-gradient (EFG) tensor and chemical shielding (CS) tensor in crystalline amides. Three 17 O-labled secondary amides, R 1 C[ 17 O]-NHR 2, have been synthesized: benzanilide ( 1 ), N -methylbenzamide ( 2 ), and acetanilide ( 3 ). Analysis of 17 O magic-angle spinning (MAS) and stationary NMR spectra yields not only the magnitude but also the orientation of the carbonyl 17 O EFG and CS tensors. For compounds 1 − 3, the carbonyl 17 O quadrupolar coupling constant (QCC) and the span of the chemical shift tensor are found to be in the range of 8.5−8.97 MHz and 560−630 ppm, respectively. The largest 17 O EFG component lies in the amide plane and is perpendicular to the C O bond, whereas the smallest component is perpendicular to the N−C O plane. For the carbonyl 17 O CS tensor, the principal component with the largest shielding, δ 33, is perpendicular to the amide plane, and the tensor component corresponding to the least shielding, δ 11, is in the amide plane approximately 20° off the direction of the C O bond. Extensive quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) have been performed for both isolated and hydrogen-bonded molecules of compounds 1 − 3 . The calculated carbonyl 17 O EFG and CS tensors from the latter molecular models are in reasonably good agreement with the experimental values. In particular, the B3LYP/D95** EFG calculations overestimate the carbonyl 17 O QCC by approximately 0.5 MHz. The B3LYP/D95**/GIAO shielding calculations yield a linear correlation between the calculated and experimental data (slope = 1.125 and R 2 = 0.9952). The quantum chemical calculations indicated that the intermolecular C O···H−N hydrogen-bonding interactions play an important role in determining the carbonyl oxygen EFG and CS tensors for an amide functional group.

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
