Anisotropic NMR Interaction Tensors in the Decamethylaluminocenium Cation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Solid-state NMR experiments, analytical and numerical simulations of solid NMR powder patterns, ab initio self-consistent field and hybrid density functional theory calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction are used to characterize the molecular structure and anisotropic NMR interaction tensors in the bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)aluminum cation, [Cp(2)Al](+). This highly symmetric main group metallocene has a structure analogous to that of ferrocene and the cobaltocenium cation. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure is reported for [Cp(2)Al][AlCl(4)]. Solid-state (27)Al[(1)H] magic-angle spinning and static NMR experiments are used to study the aluminum chemical shielding and electric field gradient tensors, revealing axial symmetry in both cases with a large chemical shielding span of Omega = 83(3) ppm and a small nuclear quadrupole coupling constant, C(Q)((27)Al) = 0.86(10) MHz. Carbon-13 CPMAS NMR experiments in combination with ab initio calculations and simulations of the effects of chemical exchange on (13)C static powder patterns reveal dynamic rotation of rings and suggest a low internal rotational barrier for this process. Theoretical computations of interaction tensors using the Gaussian 98 and Amsterdam Density Functional software packages are in good agreement with experiment and lend insight into the molecular origin of these NMR interactions. Orientations of the NMR tensors determined from theory, the large chemical shielding span, and the very small value of C(Q)((27)Al) can all be rationalized in terms of the high molecular symmetry.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
