Abstract
The F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) cation has been synthesized as the AsF(6)(-) salt by rearrangement of [F(3)S[triple bond]NXeF][AsF(6)] in N[triple bond]SF(3) solvent at 0 degrees C. Deep yellow [F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)][AsF(6)], which crystallized from a N[triple bond]SF(3) solution at -10 degrees C, was characterized by Raman spectroscopy (-160 degrees C) and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (-173 degrees C). The Xe-N bond length (2.079(3) A) of the F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) cation is among the shortest Xe-N bonds presently known. The F(4)S=NXe(+) cation interacts with N[triple bond]SF(3) by means of a Xe---N donor-acceptor bond (2.583(3) A) that is significantly longer than the primary Xe-N bond (2.079(3)A) but significantly shorter than the sum of the Xe and N van der Waals radii (3.71 A). The F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) cation undergoes a redox decomposition in N[triple bond]SF(3) at 0 degrees C, forming [F(3)S(N[triple bond]SF(3))(2)][AsF(6)], cis-N(2)F(2), and Xe, which were characterized by low-temperature Raman spectroscopy in the solid state and by (19)F NMR spectroscopy in N[triple bond]SF(3) solvent (0 degrees C). Colorless [F(3)S(N[triple bond]SF(3))(2)][AsF(6)] crystallized from N[triple bond]SF(3) at -10 degrees C and was characterized by low-temperature, single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The S(IV) atom of F(3)S(N[triple bond]SF(3))(2)(+) has long contacts with the N atoms of two N[triple bond]SF(3) molecules and a F ligand of a neighboring AsF(6)(-) anion. The arrangement of long contacts avoids, to the maximum extent, the F atoms of SF(3)(+) and the nonbonding electron pair situated on the pseudo-3-fold axis opposite the F ligands of SF(3)(+), providing distorted octahedral coordination about the S(IV) atom. Quantum-chemical calculations using MP2, B3LYP, and PBE1PBE methods were employed to arrive at the gas-phase geometries, charges, bond orders, valencies, and vibrational frequencies for F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) and F(3)S(N[triple bond]SF(3))(2)(+) to aid in the assignments of experimental vibrational frequencies. The F(4)S=N-Xe---N[triple bond]SF(3)(+) cation expands the known chemistry of the F(4)S=N- group and is the first example of a N-Xe-N linkage to be structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

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.
