2001 E.W.R. Steacie Award LectureThe imido ligand in main group element chemistry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The imido group (NR) is a versatile ligand in main group chemistry. The high reactivity of multiply bonded (terminal) imido derivatives of p-block elements is used, for example, in the aza-Wittig reaction, allylic aminations, and in peptide synthesis. As a bridging ligand, the imido group provides a cornerstone for a wide variety of binary cluster structures. This review is primarily concerned with the synthesis, structures, reactions, and ligand behaviour of imido derivatives of the heavy chalcogens (selenium and tellurium) as exemplified by the tellurium diimide dimer t-BuNTe(µ-N-t-Bu)2TeN-t-Bu and the homoleptic trisimido-tellurite dianion [Te(N-t-Bu)3]2. The synthesis and cluster structures of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal derivatives of heteroleptic imido-oxo anions of sulfur, e.g., [OxS(NR)3 x]2 (x = 1, 2) and [O2S(µ-NPh)SO2]2, are also discussed.Key words: main group chemistry, imido ligand, chalcogens.

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.
