Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A series of Zn complexes containing guanidine– and amidine–phenolate ligands were synthesized and evaluated as catalysts for the polymerization of rac-lactide at 130 °C, under solvent-free conditions, giving rate constants in the range of 0.71–4.37 × 10–4 s–1. Polymerization under identical conditions with the guanidine– and amidine–phenol proligands themselves used as catalysts gave values in the range of 0.30–2.45 × 10–4 s–1. The stereoselective production of polylactic acid from either the Zn complexes or the proligands was limited (Pr = 0.47–0.62). The molecular weight of the polymers was lower than expected for living polymerizations due to chain transfer and/or transesterification but were comparable to those obtained in control experiments with Sn(Oct)2.

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.
