Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

electrochemical copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Notably, we extend the scope of substrates beyond metals by demonstrating successful modification of glassy carbon. Compared to diazonium salts, NHC coatings show comparable resistance to sonication while forming films of only ∼4 nm in thickness. This reduced film thickness leads to lower surface passivation, which could offer advantages for electrochemical applications. The versatility of these NHC as molecular anchors is demonstrated through the attachment of electrochemically active TEMPO˙, the immobilization of streptavidin, and the formation of copper coatings. These findings highlight the potential of NHCs as alternatives to thiols and diazonium salts for the design of functional materials, electrodes, and biosensors.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
