Abstract
Abstract The reaction of H 2 C(PCl 2 ) 2 with four equivalents of i PrMgCl produces H 2 C(P i Pr 2 ) 2 , which was treated with tellurium in boiling toluene, or selenium in toluene at room temperature, to give the monochalcogenides EP i Pr 2 CH 2 P i Pr 2 (E = Te, 4a ; E = Se, 4b ) in high yields. X‐ray structural determinations show that 4a and 4b exist as the CH 2 tautomers in the solid state with E–P–C–P dihedral angles of 56.1(2)° and 56.7(1)°, respectively. DFT calculations were carried out for the isolectronic series EPR 2 CH 2 PR 2 and EPR 2 NHPR 2 (E = Se, Te; R = Me, i Pr, t Bu, Ph) and for their non‐chalcogenated precursors in order to elucidate the factors that determine the preference for PH tautomers in some PNP‐bridged systems. Compounds 4a and 4b were also characterized by multinuclear ( 1 H, 13 C, 31 P, 77 Se, 125 Te) NMR spectroscopy. In solution, 4a exhibits fluxional behavior, which has been investigated by variable‐temperature and variable‐concentration multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The observed behavior is consistent with an intermolecular tellurium transfer with an activation energy of 21.9 ± 3.2 kJ mol –1 ; consideration of selenium exchange in 4b indicates a much higher energetic barrier. DFT calculations provide insights into the pathway for the chalcogen exchange process in 4a (Δ E = 20.4 kJ mol –1 ). The outcome of reactions of 4a with selenium and n BuLi reflects the lability of the P‐Te functionality.

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
