d<sup>1</sup> Oxosulfido-Mo(V) Compounds: First Isolation and Unambiguous Characterization of an Extended Series
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reaction of Tp(iPr)Mo(VI)OS(OAr) with cobaltocene in toluene results in the precipitation of brown, microcrystalline oxosulfido-Mo(V) compounds, [CoCp2][Tp(iPr)Mo(V)OS(OAr)] (Cp(-) = η(5)-C5H5(-), Tp(iPr)(-) = hydrotris(3-isopropylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, OAr(-) = phenolate or 2-(s)Bu, 2-(t)Bu, 3-(t)Bu, 4-(s)Bu, 4-Ph, 3,5-(s)Bu2, 2-CO2Me, 2-CO2Et or 2-CO2Ph derivative thereof). The compounds are air- and water-sensitive and display ν(Mo═O) and ν(Mo[Formula: see text]S) IR absorption bands at ca. 890 and 435 cm(-1), respectively, 20-40 cm(-1) lower in energy than the corresponding bands in Tp(iPr)MoOS(OAr). They are electrochemically active and exhibit three reversible cyclovoltammetric waves (E(Mo(VI)/Mo(V)) = -0.40 to -0.66 V, E([CoCp2](+)/CoCp2) = -0.94 V and E(CoCp2/[CoCp2](-)) = -1.88 V vs SCE). Structural characterization of [CoCp2][Tp(iPr)MoOS(OC6H4CO2Et-2)]·2CH2Cl2 revealed a distorted octahedral Mo(V) anion with Mo═O and Mo[Formula: see text]S distances of 1.761(5) and 2.215(2) Å, respectively, longer than corresponding distances in related Tp(iPr)MoOS(OAr) compounds. The observation of strong S(1s) → (S(3p) + Mo(4d)) S K-preedge transitions indicative of a d(1) sulfido-Mo(V) moiety and the presence of short Mo═O (ca. 1.72 Å) and Mo[Formula: see text]S (ca. 2.25 Å) backscattering contributions in the Mo K-edge EXAFS further support the oxosulfido-Mo(V) formulation. The compounds are EPR-active, exhibiting highly anisotropic (Δg 0.124-0.150), rhombic, frozen-glass spectra with g1 close to the value observed for the free electron (ge = 2.0023). Spectroscopic studies are consistent with the presence of a highly covalent Mo[Formula: see text]S π* singly occupied molecular orbital. The compounds are highly reactive, with reactions localized at the terminal sulfido ligand. For example, the compounds react with cyanide and PPh3 to produce thiocyanate and SPPh3, respectively, and various (depending on solvent) oxo-Mo(V) species. Reactions with copper reagents also generally lead to desulfurization and the formation of oxo-Mo(V) or -Mo(IV) complexes.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
