Rapid Aerial Oxidation of Ruthenium-Dithiocatecholate Catalysts: A Challenge to Stereoretentive Olefin Metathesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ruthenium dithiolene complexes, particularly the dithiocatecholates Ru(S 2 C 6 H 2 -3,6-Cl 2 )(NHC)(=CHC 6 H 4 -2-O i Pr) (NHC = H 2 IPr, H 2 IMes), are an important class of olefin metathesis catalysts employed for the stereocontrolled assembly of C=C bonds. The poorly understood sensitivity of these catalysts results in unpredictable performance. Here they are shown to resist degradation by amine nucleophiles, in contrast with their dichloride parents; however, they are significantly more oxygen-sensitive. Even as the precatalysts, they decompose within minutes in solution under O 2, eliminating the alkylidene ligand as O=CHC 6 H 4 -2-O i Pr and forming unusual, four-coordinate Ru(IV)-oxo products, Ru(O)(S 2 C 6 H 2 -3,6-Cl 2 )(NHC). Participation of the latter in O-transfer with PPh 3 suggests potential opportunities in catalytic oxidation.

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.
