The solid-state molecular structure of W(NO)<sub>3</sub>Cl<sub>3</sub> and the nature of its WNO bonding
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The monomeric trinitrosyl complex, W(NO) 3 Cl 3 , can be prepared by the treatment of WCl 6 in CH 2 Cl 2 with NO gas, and its identity has been unambiguously confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex crystallizes in the space group Pmn2 1 as a three-component twin (a = 10.4280(4) Å, b = 6.3289(2) Å, c = 5.6854(2) Å, Z = 2, R 1 = 0.065, wR 2 = 0.176). Its solid-state molecular structure consists of a tungsten centre bound to three chloride ligands and three linear nitrosyl ligands in a fac-octahedral stereochemistry. In addition, the structure contains a crystallographically imposed mirror plane. The two independent WN linkages are 1.88(2) and 1.92(1) Å long, while the two corresponding NO bond lengths are 1.13(2) and 1.16(2) Å. DFT calculations on fac-W(NO) 3 Cl 3 at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory afford optimized intramolecular metrical parameters that match the X-ray crystallographically determined bond lengths and bond angles quite well. In addition, they provide a rationale for the nearly linear W-N-O linkages extant in the complex. Solutions of fac-W(NO) 3 Cl 3 in CH 2 Cl 2 lose ClNO under ambient conditions and deposit the well-known [W(NO) 2 Cl 2 ] n polymer, and this conversion is fully reversible.Key words: nitrosyl, tungsten, structure, bonding.

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.
