Heteroleptic rhodium NHC complexes with pyridine-derived ligands: synthetic accessibility and reactivity towards oxygen
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The synthesis, structure determination and oxidative stability of novel Rh-NHC complexes which feature pyridine-derived ligands have been described. All complexes described herein were synthesized from common dinuclear precursors of general structure [Rh(NHC)(L)Cl](2), where L is a monodentate olefin. We demonstrate that the use of these precursors is critical for the formation of all complexes since related cyclooctadiene containing precursors ([Rh(NHC)(COD)Cl]) were completely unreactive under identical conditions. We further demonstrate that complexes with the general formula [Rh(NHC)(olefin)(Py)Cl] or ([Rh(NHC)(BiPy/Phen)Cl]) are extremely sensitive to oxygen, reacting initially to give an adduct with dioxygen, and then decomposing further. The series of compounds and their oxidation products gave a remarkable range of colours which may be useful in the preparation of colourometric oxygen sensors.

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.
