Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Five aluminum-based amine-bis(phenolate) complexes, three of them novel, with variation of the pendant donor arm were synthesized in excellent yields, and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallogra-phy. The quantitative conversion of the aluminum alkyl species to the corresponding benzyl alkoxide was achieved by the addition of 1 mol eq. of benzyl alcohol, and was confirmed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The aluminum alkox-ides were excellent mediators for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide, yielding atactic poly(lactic acid), having excellent correlation between theoretical and calculated molecular weights accompanied by narrow molecular weight distributions. ROP of ε-caprolactone by the aluminum alkoxides showed modest con-trol at 50°C in toluene, but much greater control was achieved when polymerizations were conducted at 25°C, with nar-rower molecular weight distributions observed in some cases. A relationship between the complex pendant donor arm and the resulting activity in the ROP of both rac-lactide and ε-caprolactone is discussed.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
