A Rare Low‐Spin Co <sup>IV</sup> Bis(β‐silyldiamide) with High Thermal Stability: Steric Enforcement of a Doublet Configuration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Attempted preparation of a chelated Co II β‐silylamide resulted in the unprecedented disproportionation to Co 0 and a spirocyclic cobalt(IV) bis(β‐silyldiamide): [Co[(N t Bu) 2 SiMe 2 ] 2 ] ( 1 ). Compound 1 exhibited a room‐temperature magnetic moment of 1.8 B.M. and a solid‐state axial EPR spectrum diagnostic of a rare S= configuration for tetrahedral Co IV . Ab initio semicanonical coupled‐cluster calculations (DLPNO‐CCSD(T)) revealed the doublet state was clearly preferred (−27 kcal mol −1 ) over higher spin configurations only for the bulky tert‐butyl‐substituted analogue. Unlike other Co IV complexes, 1 had remarkable thermal stability, and was demonstrated to form a stable self‐limiting monolayer in preliminary atomic layer deposition (ALD) surface saturation experiments. The ease of synthesis and high stability make 1 an attractive starting point to investigate otherwise inaccessible Co IV intermediates and for synthesizing new materials.

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.
