Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Renewed interest in lanthanide contraction results from its possible effect on the properties and applications of Ln(III) compounds and the theory related to these issues. To understand this effect, it is important to know what is a normal dependence of the contraction on the number of 4f electrons, n . The normal trend is based on recent values of ionic radii that have a linear dependence on n for coordination numbers (CNs) of 6, 8, and 9. If the normal trend is not followed, then some other interactions in the system are affecting the extent of contraction. However, the suggestion that the variation is curved and fitted by a quadratic function has become popular in recent years. This report examines the Ln(III)-to-ligand atom distances for coordination compounds with CNs of 6–9 and the nitrides and phosphides. Least-squares fits to the linear and quadratic models are applied to all of the bond distances to determine when a quadratic model is justified. The result is that complex systems show a mixture of linear and quadratic dependencies when individual bond distances are considered and that the linear model is most common and representative of the true lanthanide contraction.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
