Abstract
Three new organotin(iv) carboxylates () of 3,5-dimethylbenzoate, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR ((1)H, (13)C and (119)Sn), mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Crystallographic data show that in compounds and , the geometry at the central Sn atom is skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal while compound displays a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the case of compounds and , the asymmetric chelating mode of the carboxylate groups is reflected in the unequal C-O bond distances, those observed for the O1 and O3 oxygen atoms being significantly longer than those found in the O2 and O4 atoms. In the case of compound , the carboxylate groups bridge asymmetrically adjacent tin atoms in an anti-syn mode generating polymeric zigzag chains running parallel to the crystallographic c-axis. The compounds were screened for anti-HCV (hepatitis C virus) potency by the Gaussia luciferase assay using infected Huh 7.5 cells (human hepatocellular cell). Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of dibutyltin(iv)bis(3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid) (compound ) as a potent HCV inhibitor, with log IC50 values equal to 0.69 nM in the cell-based assay. Compound was further subjected to quantitative analysis using real-time PCR assays and viral RNA count vs. drug concentration confirmed the Gaussia luciferase assay results. The HCV RNA targeting mode of the compounds () was confirmed by a compound-DNA interaction study. The compounds ()-DNA interactions were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy and viscometry. The hypochromic effect in spectroscopy evidenced an intercalative mode of interaction with the binding affinity in the order of > > .

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
