Hydrolysis of Scandium Alkyl Derivatives Supported by a Pentadentate Diborate Ligand: Interconversion of Hydroxo and Oxo Complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Uncontrolled reaction of water with scandium alkyls (compounds <b>1-R</b>) supported by a dianionic, pentadentate ligand leads to rapid formation of an oxo-bridged dimer (<b>2</b>). Solid state samples can be exposed to ambient atmosphere to generate samples enriched in the bridging dihydroxo dimer <b>3</b>, which slowly converts to the m-oxo species with elimination of water. DFT computations show that <b>3</b> is actually more thermodynamically stable than <b>2</b>, but the reactivity of <b>3</b> with the water eliminated leads to its decomposition to <b>2</b> and several hydrolysis products. Some of these products were characterized by X-ray crystallography, specifically a hexameric scandium dihydroxo cluster (<b>4</b>) in which the pentadentate ligand has partially demetallated. Attempts to synthesize hydroxo complex <b>3</b> by protonation of <b>2</b> also lead to hydrolysis products.

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.
