Lanthanide complexes with zwitterionic amidoximes stabilized by noncoordinating water molecules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present the first structural report of lanthanides complexed with free amidoxime ligands as part of our ongoing research effort to understand the interactions of amidoximes with metal ions in seawater. Three isomorphous lanthanide complexes with acetamidoxime (AcAO) having the formula Ln2(NO3)6(AcAO)3(OH2)3·3H2O (Ln = Pr3+, Nd3+, Gd3+) have been crystallized and structurally characterised. Notably, the AcAO ligands coordinate in a bridging mode as zwitterions, which creates pre-organised hydrogen bonding cavities into which water molecules are incorporated. Charge-assisted hydrogen bonds to these water molecules appear to stabilize the zwitterionic form and thus the overall complex, underscoring the importance of supramolecular phenomena and overall complex geometry on the relative stability of amidoxime complexes. This has implications for controlling their selectivity towards metal ions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
