Hydrogen-Bonding Motifs in MS<sub>2</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H Metallacycles: A Crystallographic and Computational Study of [CpCoS<sub>2</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H][BF<sub>4</sub>]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The first preparation and full characterization of highly insoluble [{η 5 –Cp}CoS 2 N 2 H][BF 4 ] is reported. Proof of structure and composition is established from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment at 173 K, which determined a crystal structure containing two independent cations and two independent anions in the asymmetric unit. The site of protonation is the terminal N of the S–N–S–N 2– ligand which is coordinated to cobalt in the metallacycle. The crystal lattice contains numerous interatomic interactions, of which the most important are formed from multiple hydrogen bonds that link four [{η 5 –Cp}CoS 2 N 2 H] + ions and two [BF 4 ] − ions into a tetrameric cluster. The second kind of [BF 4 ] − is not involved in intermolecular bonding. Short S···S′ interactions link such tetramers into planes; the resulting double-layer planes are described by the (101) Miller planes. DFT calculations using the B3PW91/6-311+G(3df)(2p) and B3LYP/6-311+G(3df)(2p) methods are in excellent agreement with the structure of the title cation from crystallography. Comparison to newly calculated and literature-reported DFT calculations on the neutral starting material [{η 5 –Cp}CoS 2 N 2 ] and to a recent low-temperature crystal structure of the latter shows that there are only minor changes (≤3%) in the bond lengths within the CoS 2 N 2 ring upon protonation, whereas the bond angles change by up to 9%. The B3PW91 functional is shown to be superior to B3LYP for computing the molecular structures of these formally Co III metallacycles.

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.
