Abstract
We present a study of the photochemical hydrosilylation of freestanding silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) using a near-UV source. The impact of reaction with alkenes and alkynes was studied using in situ photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, allowing measurement of both changes in intensity and PL maxima during the reaction. Understanding this behavior is important for the utilization of these materials in a number of applications where hydrosilylation is a leading method to functionalize Si-NCs. Changes in the PL were studied and shown arise from the influence of oxidation as well as the Si-C bond formation. Hydrosilylation with a range of conjugated alkynyl species was studied to understand how the introduction of these species to the NC surface can quench the PL from Si-NCs. These results were explained in context of the free-radical and exciton-mediated mechanisms for photochemical hydrosilylation proposed for Si-NCs. Materials in this study were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected electron area diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

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 it
