Thermodynamic and Kinetic Control over the Reduction Mechanism of the Pd<sub>3</sub>(dppm)<sub>3</sub>(CO)(I)<sup>+</sup> Cluster
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reduction mechanism of the title cluster has been investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammetry, and coulometry. The 2-electron reduction proceeds via two routes simultaneously. The first one involves two 1-electron reduction steps, followed by an iodide elimination to form the neutral Pd(3)(dppm)(3)(CO)(0) cluster (EEC mechanism). The second one is a 1-electron reduction process, followed by an iodide elimination, then by a second 1-electron step (ECE mechanism) to generate the same final product. Control over these two competitive mechanisms can be achieved by changing temperature, solvent polarity, iodide concentration, or sweep rate. The reoxidation of the Pd(3)(dppm)(3)(CO)(0) cluster in the presence of iodide proceeds via a pure ECE pathway. The overall results were interpreted with a six-member square scheme, and the cyclic and RDE voltammograms were simulated, in order to extract the reaction rate and equilibrium constants for iodide exchange for all three Pd(3)(dppm)(3)(CO)(I)(n)() (n = +1, 0, -1) adducts.

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.
