Synthesis of Sterically Demanding Bis(phosphinimine) Dibenzofuran Ligands and Subsequent Zinc Metalation*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In light of previous success surrounding the use of bis(phosphinimine)dibenzofuran ligands for zinc-mediated lactide polymerization, a series of sterically demanding P=N pincer compounds have been prepared with important steric and electronic modifications at both P- and N-sites (L, 3a–d). These systems are highly crystalline and have been extensively characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The ligands can be transformed into their protonated analogues [HL][BArF4] (4a–d, [BArF4] = [B(m-(CF3)2-C6H3)4]) by reaction with Brookhart’s acid, and subsequently coordinated to zinc via an alkane elimination reaction with [ZnEt2] at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding [LZnEt][BArF4] cationic complexes 5a–d. In addition, an unusual chloridozinc species [LZnCl][BArF4] (5c') has been isolated and structurally characterized, providing comparisons to previously established ligand sets with similar geometries.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
