Bibliographic record
Abstract
The development of novel Brønsted acids featuring the hexacoordinate phosphorus(V) anion [TRISPHAT](-) {[1](-)=[P(1,2-O2C6Cl4)3](-)} are reported. The title compound, H(OEt2)2[1], was synthesized from 1,2-(HO)2C6Cl4 (3 equiv) and PCl5 in the presence of diethyl ether. This compound was fully characterized by (1)H, (31)P and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and elemental microanalysis. Dissolution of H(OEt2)2[1] in acetonitrile results in the slow precipitation of crystalline H(OEt2)(NCMe)[1], which was characterized by X-ray diffraction; however, in CD2Cl2 solution the [TRISPHAT](-) anion protonated and ring-opened. The weighable, solid H(OEt2)2[1] was found to be a competent initiator for the polymerization of n-butyl vinyl ether, α-methylstyrene, styrene and isoprene at a variety of temperatures and monomer-to-initiator ratios. At low temperatures, polymers with M(n) >10(5) were obtained for n-butyl vinyl ether and α-methylstyrene whereas slightly lower molecular weights were obtained with styrene and isoprene (10(4) < M(n) <10(5)). The poly(α-methylstyrene) synthesized at -78 °C is syndiotactic-rich (ca. 87% rr) whereas the polystyrene obtained at -50 °C is atactic. The polyisoprene obtained possessed all possible modes of enchainment as well as branched and/or cyclic structures that are often observed in polyisoprene.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
