Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The crystal structures, interactions, and contacts analyses of four N-(ferrocenylalkyl)benzene-carboxamide derivatives are described as the N-(ferrocenylmethyl)benzenecarboxamide 4a, N-(ferrocenylmethyl)-2,6-difluorobenzenecarboxamide 4e, N-(ferrocenylmethyl)pentafluorobenzenecarboxamide 4f and N-(ferrocenylethyl)-4-fluorobenzenecarboxamide 5. Intermolecular amide⋯amide hydrogen-bonding interactions as 1D intermolecular chains are present in all four crystal structures, with N⋯O distances ranging from 2.819 (2) to 2.924 (3) Å. Three of the crystal structures have one molecule per asymmetric unit, except the phenyl 4a, which has Z’=2. In the structure of 4a, Fc(C-H)⋯(phenyl) and phenylC-H⋯π(C5H4) ring interactions dominate the interaction landscape, together with (1:1) face-to-face (phenyl)⋯(phenyl) and (C5H5)⋯(C5H5) ring stacked pairs (Fc = ferrocenyl moiety). In 4e, interlocking ferrocenyls, short C-H⋯(C-F) and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are the only additional notable intermolecular interactions. In the pentafluorophenyl derivative 4f, a remarkable selection of interactions is present with interwoven 1D ferrocenyl⋯(C6F5) stacking and C-H⋯F interactions; molecules aggregate forming impressive 1D columns comprising intertwined (Fc⋯C6F5⋯)n ring stacking. In the ethyl bridged system 5, C-H⋯F and C-H⋯π (arene) contacts with (4-fluorobenzene) ring⋯ring pairs combine and stack about inversion centres. The reported para-F substituted structure REYWOU (4d) is used for comparisons with the 4a, 4e, 4f, and 5 crystal structures. In view of the rich interaction chemistry, contacts enrichment analyses of the Hirshfeld surface highlights several interesting features in all five ferrocenylalkylcarboxamide structures.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
