Terphenyl Ligand Systems in Lanthanide Chemistry: Use of the 2,6-Di(1-naphthyl)phenyl Ligand for the Synthesis of Kinetically Stabilized Complexes of Trivalent Ytterbium, Thulium, and Yttrium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The molecular structures of terphenyl derivatives of trivalent ytterbium, thulium, and yttrium of general composition DnpLnCl(2)(THF)(2) [Dnp = 2,6-di(1-naphthyl)phenyl] are reported. The complexes (Ln = Yb: 1; Ln = Tm: 2; Ln = Y: 3) are synthesized by reaction of 1 equiv of DnpLi with 1 equiv of LnCl(3) (Ln = Yb, Tm, or Y) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature in 50% yield. Attempts to prepare a Dnp scandium compound gave heterobimetallic [(THF)(3)Sc(2)OCl(5)Li(THF)](2) (4) in low yield. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Crystal data for 1 at 203 K: a = 14.333(3) A, b = 16.353(3) A, c = 12.427(2) A, beta = 91.021(4) degrees, Z = 4, D(calcd) = 1.637 g cm(-3), R(1) = 4.44%. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Crystal data for 2 at 203 K: a = 14.333(1) A, b = 16.374(2) A, c = 12.404(1) A, beta = 90.934(2) degrees, Z = 4, D(calcd) = 1.628 g cm(-3), R(1) = 3.00%. 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Crystal data for 3 at 203 K: a = 14.348(3) A, b = 16.476(3) A, c = 12.356(2) A, beta = 90.987(4) degrees, Z = 4, D(calcd) = 1.441 g cm(-3), R(1) = 5.62%. 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. Crystal data for 4 at 203 K: a = 11.0975(9) A, b = 11.0976(9) A, c = 21.3305(18) A, beta = 94.718(2) degrees, Z = 2, D(calcd) = 1.051 g cm(-3), R(1) = 3.45%. Complexes 1-3 represent examples of novel chiral (racemic) organometallic complexes of the lanthanide elements ytterbium and thulium and the group 3 element yttrium, respectively. The molecular structures of monomeric 1-3 exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environments at the metal center, with the two oxygen atoms of the tetrahydrofuran ligands occupying the axial positions of a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination polyeder. The molecular structure of the scandium compound 4 shows a complex polynuclear heterobimetallic arrangement.

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.
