ROTATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY AND CONFORMATIONAL SPACE OF GLYCEROL DIMERS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Glycerol (CH2OHCHOHCH2OH) is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid with a sweet taste and is widely used in food and drug industry. This polyol compound with three hydroxyl groups is capable of taking on many different intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding topologies, leading to highly complex conformational spaces for its monomer and dimer. Rotational spectra of five of its monomeric conformers had been reported before.[1],[2] In the current study, we apply CREST, a conformer-rotamer ensemble sampling tool developed by the Grimme group,[3] together with DFT calculations to systematically explore the conformational spaces of its monomer and dimer. Rotational spectra of glycerol in the 1-12 GHz range were recorded using a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer and analyzed. Rotational transitions of several conformers of the binary glycerol complex were assigned. The structure-energy relationships of the conformers of the glycerol dimer and the corresponding monomer will be discussed.\n\n\n\n[1] V.V. Ilyushin, R.A. Motiyenko, F.J. Lovas, and D.F.

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.
