Mono-alkylated bisphosphines as dopants for ESI-MS analysis of catalytic reactions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bisphosphines Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2) (n = 1, 2, 4, 6) may be easily monobenzylated to generate cationic phosphine/phosphonium ligands [Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2)CH(2)Ph](+). These ligands may be doped into a catalytic reaction involving neutral complexes with labile phosphine ligands, and replacement of a neutral phosphine with a charged analogue renders the resulting complex amenable to electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Examination of olefin hydrogenation with Wilkinson's catalyst, RhCl(PPh(3))(3), revealed that this approach yielded rapid identification of all off-cycle solution species as well as catalyst poisons. Reactive intermediates could be generated using collision-induced dissociation (CID) of a triphenylphosphine ligand to make three-coordinate RhClP(2) species, and these react with alkenes in the gas phase to form RhClP(2)(alkene). The solution speciation and gas phase behaviour revealed by ESI-MS match closely to what is already known about the system from kinetic and NMR studies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
