C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–C(sp<sup>3</sup>) Reductive Elimination from (Phenoxyimine)Cobalt(III)(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(PMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> Complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of six-coordinate, idealized octahedral phenoxyimine (FI)–cobalt(III) dimethyl bis(trimethylphosphine) complexes was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal stability of the parent Ph-FI complex was evaluated at 60 °C in benzene- d 6, and a 13(1):1 ratio of ethane to methane was observed. The major detectable cobalt product of this reaction was the bis(chelate) cobalt derivative (Ph-FI) 2 Co formed by disproportionation of the (FI)cobalt(I) product following ethane reductive elimination. Addition of excess PMe 3 inhibited C(sp 3 )–C(sp 3 ) reductive elimination, consistent with phosphine dissociation preceding C–C bond formation from a five-coordinate (FI)cobalt(III) dimethyl intermediate. The reductive elimination of substituted (R-FI)cobalt(III) dimethyl bis(trimethylphosphine) compounds was evaluated in acetonitrile- d 3, where ligands bearing electron-donating aniline substituents underwent reductive elimination the fastest and electron-withdrawing substituents the slowest. These data support a buildup of positive charge in the rate-limiting step, consistent with the formation of a more electropositive five-coordinate cobalt center prior to rate-limiting C–C reductive elimination. Attempted synthesis of a cobalt(III) dimethyl complex bearing a sterically hindered FI ligand with a tert -butyl substituent ortho to the phenol led exclusively to the corresponding bis(chelate) cobalt derivative, whose formation was rationalized by steric destabilization of pre–reductive elimination intermediates.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
