Abstract
Mass spectrometry and ab initio calculations have been employed to investigate the unimolecular decompositions of proton-bound dimers consisting of acetonitrile with n- and i-propanol. Common to both systems is a competition between dissociation of the hydrogen bond in the proton-bound dimer and isomerization to (CH 3 CNR)(H 2 O) + [R = CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and CH(CH 3 ) 2 ]. The minimum-energy-reaction pathways for the isomerization in these two systems, as well as those for the dimers containing methanol and ethanol, are presented and compared. The dominant isomerization pathway for these ions is an internal S N 2 reaction that proceeds via a stable intermediate CH 3 CN•••ROH 2 + ion [R = CH 3 , CH 2 CH 3 , CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and CH(CH 3 ) 2 ]. The mass spectra for the four butanol-containing dimers ( n-, s-, i- and t-butanol) follow similar behavior.

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
