Oxyhalogen-sulfur chemistry Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of cysteamine by acidic iodate and iodine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The oxidation of cysteamine by iodate and aqueous iodine has been studied in neutral to mildly acidic conditions. The reaction is relatively slow and is heavily dependent on acid concentration. The reaction dynamics are complex and display clock behavior, transient iodine production, and even oligooscillatory production of iodine, depending upon initial conditions. The oxidation product was the cysteamine dimer (cystamine), with no further oxidation observed past this product. The stoichiometry of the reaction was deduced to be IO 3 + 6H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 SH → I + 3H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 S-SCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 + 3H 2 O in excess cysteamine conditions, whereas in excess iodate the stoichiometry of the reaction is 2IO 3 + 10H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 SH → I 2 + 5H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 S-SCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 + 6H 2 O. The stoichiometry of the oxidation of cysteamine by aqueous iodine was deduced to be I 2 + 2H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 SH → 2I + H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 S-SCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 + 2H + . The bimolecular rate constant for the oxidation of cysteamine by iodine was experimentally evaluated as 2.7 (mol L 1 ) 1 s 1 . The whole reaction scheme was satisfactorily modeled by a network of 14 elementary reactions.Key words: cysteamine, cystamine, Dushman reaction, oligooscillations.

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.
