Synthesis, stability, and reactivity of mesoionic carbene iridium dihydride complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pyridyl-triazolylidene ligands with variable donor properties were used as tunable ligands at a dihydride iridium (III) center. The straightforward synthesis of this type of ligand allows for an easy incorporation of electron-donating substituents in different positions of the pyridine ring or different functional groups such as esters, alkoxy, or aliphatic chains on the C4 position of the triazole heterocycle. The stability of these hydride metal systems allowed these complexes to be used as models for studying the influence of the ligand modifications on hydride reactivity. Spectroscopic analysis provided unambiguous structural assignment of the dihydride system. Modulation of the electronic properties of the wingtip substituents did not appreciably alter the reactivity of the hydrides. Reactivity studies using acids with a wide range of pK a values indicated a correlation between hydride reactivity and acidity and showed exclusive reactivity towards the less shielded hydride trans to the carbene carbon rather than the more shielded hydride trans to the pyridine ring, suggesting that the trans effect is more relevant in these reactions than the NMR spectroscopically deduced hydridic character.

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.
