Synthesis, Characterization, and Some Properties of Cp*W(NO)(H)(η<sup>3</sup>-allyl) Complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sequential treatment at low temperatures of Cp*W(NO)Cl2 in THF with 1 equiv of a binary magnesium allyl reagent, followed by an excess of LiBH4, affords three new Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(3)-allyl) complexes, namely, Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(3)-CH2CHCMe2) (1), Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(3)-CH2CHCHPh) (2), and Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(3)-CH2CHCHMe) (3). Complexes 1-3 are isolable as air-stable, analytically pure yellow solids in good to moderate yields by chromatography or fractional crystallization. In solutions, complex 1 exists as two coordination isomers in an 83:17 ratio differing with respect to the endo/exo orientation of the allyl ligand. In contrast, complexes 2 and 3 each exist as four coordination isomers, all differing by the orientation of their allyl ligands which can have either an endo or an exo orientation with the phenyl or methyl groups being either proximal or distal to the nitrosyl ligand. A DFT computational analysis using the major isomer of Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(3)-CH2CHCHMe) (3a) as the model complex has revealed that its lowest-energy thermal-decomposition pathway involves the intramolecular isomerization of 3a to the 16e η(2)-alkene complex, Cp*W(NO)(η(2)-CH2═CHCH2Me). Such η(2)-alkene complexes are isolable as their 18e PMe3 adducts when compounds 1-3 are thermolyzed in neat PMe3, the other organometallic products formed during these thermolyses being Cp*W(NO)(PMe3)2 (5) and, occasionally, Cp*W(NO)(H)(η(1)-allyl)(PMe3). All new complexes have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic and analytical methods, and the solid-state molecular structures of most of them have been established by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses.

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.
