Products and Reaction Sequences in Tetrahydrofuran Exposed to Low-Energy Electrons
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electron-stimulated reactions in solid films of tetrahydrofuran (THF), condensed on Kr spacers deposited on a Pt substrate, or directly onto the substrate, were induced and monitored simultaneously with use of high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy in the ranges of vibrational and electronic excitations. The spectra of the molecular films obtained after a certain time of exposure to electrons at incident energies of 14 and 15.5 eV were analyzed and different products were identified. Besides an aldehyde, which is the main product, olefins, conjugated olefins, as well as CO were identified. Closer investigation of the reactions of propionaldehyde, as a model aldehyde, demonstrates that CO appears in THF as a secondary product (i.e., from the intermediate aldehyde). On the basis of the cross sections for the formation of an aldehyde from THF, of CO from propionaldehyde, and for the loss of propionaldehyde under electron impact, the reaction sequences were evaluated with the help of a kinetic model. This analysis suggests that some CO could also be formed directly from THF (i.e., without involvement of an intermediate aldehyde).

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.
