Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ternary transition-metal arsenide Nb(9)PdAs(7) has been prepared through reaction of the elements, and its structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. It adopts a new structure type (Pearson symbol hP51, hexagonal, space group P6, Z = 3), with unit cell parameters a = 16.6955(6) and c = 3.5582(1) A. The structure contains assemblies of As-centered trigonal prisms that extend as triangular columns through sharing of the triangular faces. Not only does Nb(9)PdAs(7) extend a family of hexagonal structures with general formula M(n2+3n+2)X(n2+n)Y to n = 4, the highest member known thus far, but it also displays the unique feature in which there are two distinct types of triangular columns, one having corner atoms (Pd) different from the other atoms (Nb). Structural relationships between members of the M(n2+3n+2)X(n2+n)Y family are presented. The chemical bonding in Nb(9)PdAs(7) was analyzed through an extended Hückel band structure calculation.

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.
