Matrix isolation spectroscopy and spectral simulations of isotopically substituted C60 molecules
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Isotopically enriched (3.5% 13C) and depleted (0.5% 13C) fullerene C60 molecules are isolated in parahydrogen (pH2) solids at cryogenic temperatures and studied by high resolution (0.01–0.1 cm−1) infrared (IR) absorption measurements. Spectra of natural isotopic abundance (1.1% 13C) C60 molecules isolated in solid pH2, orthodeuterium (oD2), and Ne matrix hosts serve to identify the relatively minor spectral perturbations due to the trapping environments. Spectral features observed for the four IR-active T1u modes of threefold degeneracy in Ih symmetry, namely, T1u(1) at 529.77 cm−1, T1u(2) at 578.24 cm−1, T1u(3) at 1184.7 cm−1, and T1u(4) at 1432 cm−1, are assigned to the superpositions of matrix perturbed vibrational-mode spectra of a number of 13Cn12C60−n isotopologues. New molecular orbital calculations show the symmetry lowering effects of 13C substitution, namely, split vibrational frequencies and modified IR intensities. IR spectral patterns calculated for the 328 distinct isotopomers of 13Cn12C60−n up to n = 3 are used to satisfactorily simulate most of the observed absorption features. For the T1u(4) mode at 1432 cm−1, the observed splitting is insensitive to the 13C abundance, indicating spectral perturbations due to Fermi resonance. Weak absorption features at 1545 cm−1 are assigned to a combination of lower frequency modes. We discuss relative and absolute band strengths for the astrophysical application of estimating C60 abundances in planetary nebulae.

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.
