Abstract
A rigid anilido bipyridyl ligand has been designed for use in an organoscandium-based carbon dioxide hydrosilation catalyst. Ligand attachment by alkane elimination results in metalation of an aryl C-H bond in a 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl group installed on the pyridyl unit, thus rendering the ligand tetradentate. Insertion of CO2 into the newly formed Sc-C bond leads to a κ(1) carboxylate which, when treated with the borane B(C6F5)3, becomes hemilabile. In addition to activating the catalyst, the k(1) carboxylate effectively sequesters free B(C6F5)3 and the ensemble is able to effectively hydrosilate CO2, in the presence of excess Et3SiH, almost exclusively to R3SiOCH2OSiR3. A maximum turnover number of about 3400 (conversion of silane) is observed. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the sequestration of free B(C6F5)3 by the hemilabile carboxylate contributes to the selectivity observed and prevents over reduction to methane.

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
