C-Term Faraday Rotation in Low Symmetry <i>tert</i>-Butyl Substituted Polyferroceniums
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Molecular thin films are currently being investigated as candidate materials to replace conventional atomistic inorganic crystal-based Faraday rotators. High symmetry paramagnetic species have been reported to exhibit large Verdet constants via magnetic field splitting of degenerate ground states. However, lower symmetry open-shell species have not been extensively studied. Herein, we report the Faraday rotation of two poly di- tert -butylferroceniums with diphenylsilane and vinylene linkers. Thin films of oxidized poly[(1,1′-di- tert -butylferrocenyl)diphenylsilane] [ poly( t Bu 2 fc-SiPh 2 ) ] displayed a 30% increase in maximum Verdet constant relative to the previously reported decamethylferrocenium/PMMA composite, with Verdet constants of −4.52 × 10 4 deg T –1 m –1 at 730 nm and 4.46 × 10 4 deg T –1 m –1 at 580 nm. When a sp 2 -type linker was used, as with the oxidized poly(1,1′-di- tert -butyl-ferrocenylene)vinylene [ poly( t Bu 2 fc-C═C) ], negligible Faraday rotation was observed. Hence, Faraday rotation can be maintained when molecular symmetry is broken, however orbital symmetry breaking in optical transitions of interest leads to a significant loss in magneto-optical activity.

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.
