XAFS and XEOL of tetramesityldigermene – An electronic structure study of a heavy group 14 ethylene analogue
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Digermene, the germanium analogue of ethylene, has a multiple bonding motif that differs greatly from that of alkenes and exhibits no pure σ or π type bonds. The electronic structure of digermenes is difficult to study experimentally due to their reactivity, and is computationally challenging because of their shallow potential energy surfaces. Using X-ray absorption near edge structures at both the germanium K and L edges we have been able to directly probe the unoccupied electronic states, or the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and LUMO+ etc. in the Ge=Ge bond of tetramesityldigermene. We have demonstrated that the LUMO, LUMO+, etc. are composed of hybrid Ge 4s and 4p orbitals. Additionally, our data suggest that the LUMO exhibits relatively more Ge 4s character, whereas the LUMO+ and LUMO+2 exhibit relatively more Ge 4p character. An X-ray excited optical luminescence study of Ge2Mes4 revealed one broad optical emission band at 620 nm, which is significantly red shifted compared to the known energy gap of this molecular germanium compound.

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.
