Neutral and Cationic Iridium(I) Complexes Bearing Chiral Phenanthroline-Derived Benzimidazolylidenes: Synthetic, Structural, and Catalytic Studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of neutral and cationic iridium(I) complexes bearing chiral and achiral phenanthroline-derived benzimidazolylidene ligands were synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopic and crystallographic data indicate that the principal plane of the NHC ligand in the achiral complexes is positioned orthogonally with respect to the Ir−Cl or Ir−P bonds, while the planes of NHC ligands in the corresponding chiral complexes are twisted by a torsion angle that depends on the size of the 2,9-substituents. All of the new complexes showed varying degrees of catalytic activity and enantioselectivity toward hydrogenation of acetamidoacrylates, with the best results being achieved using 2,9-diphenyl-substituted ( S,S )-20a, which afforded (−)-( R )-methyl 2-acetamidopropanoate ( 12a ) in 97% yield and 81% ee.

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.
