Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide N -oxyl species are promising hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysts to advance C–H bond activation reactions. However, because of the complex structure–activity relationship within the N -oxyl structure, catalyst optimization is a key challenge, particularly for simultaneous improvement across multiple parameters. This paper describes a data-driven approach to optimize N -oxyl hydrogen atom transfer catalysts. A focused library of 50 N -hydroxy compounds was synthesized and characterized by three parameters─oxidation peak potential, HAT reactivity, and stability─to generate a database. Statistical modeling of these activities described by their intrinsic physical organic parameters was used to build predictive models for catalyst discovery and to understand their structure–activity relationships. Virtual screening of 102 synthesizable candidates allowed for rapid identification of several ideal catalyst candidates. These statistical models clearly suggest that N -oxyl substructures bearing an adjacent heteroatom are more optimal HAT catalysts compared to the historical focus, phthalimide- N -oxyl, by striking the best balance among all three target experimental properties.

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.
