Synthesis of an Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid-like Ligand Based on Sucrose Scaffold and Complexation and Proton Relaxivity Studies of Its Gadolinium(III) Complex in Solution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sucrose constitutes a non-toxic, biodegradable, low-cost and readily available natural product. To expand its utility, we developed total synthesis for a ligand based on a sucrose scaffold for potential use as a metal chelation agent. The designed target (compound 2) has a metal-chelating functionality at both the C-6 and C-6’ positions, which can provide a first coordination sphere of eight valencies. The designed total synthesis was highly efficient. To demonstrate the utility of the ligand, we studied its complexation with Gd(III). Using potentiometric titration and high-resolution mass spectrometry, we confirmed the formation of a 1:1 complex with Gd(III), which has a respectable formation constant of ~1013.4. Further NMR relaxivity studies show that the Gd(III) complex has a relaxivity (r1) of 7.6958 mmol−1 s−1.

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.
