Abstract
A series of Pd-N-heterocyclic carbene (Pd-NHC) complexes with various NHC, halide and pyridine ligands (PEPPSI (pyridine, enhanced, precatalyst, preparation, stabilisation and initiation) precatalysts) were prepared, and the effects of these ligands on catalyst activation and performance were studied in the Kumada-Tamao-Corriu (KTC), Negishi, and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The lowered reactivity of more hindered 2,6-dimethylpyridyl complex 4 in the Negishi and KTC reactions is consistent with slow reductive dimerisation of the organometallic reaction partner during precatalyst activation. Comparative rate studies of complexes 1, 4 and 5 in the KTC and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions verify that 4 activated more slowly than the others. A potential on/off mechanism of pyridine coordination to NHC-Pd(0) is also plausible, in which the more basic pyridine stays bound for longer.

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
