Synthesis and Characterization of \nGroup-13-Bridged [1]- and [1.1]Metallacyclophanes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the first aluminum- and gallium-bridged [1]chromarenophanes, [1]vanadarenophanes and [1]molybdarenophanes are described; these compounds belong to a class of compounds referred to as [1]metallacyclophanes. [1]Metallacyclophanes are strained, ring-tilted complexes that have a propensity to undergo ring-opening polymerizations (ROPs). On the basis of using bulky, intramolecularly coordinating ligands, the [1]metallacyclophanes described within have been synthesized and characterized. By exploring known transition-metal catalyzed ROP methodologies, a serendipitous discovery has been made. The gallium-bridged [1]molybdarenophane undergoes ring-opening reactions catalyzed by sigma donors such as thf and triethylphospine or by pi donors such as 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Known transition-metal catalyzed ROP methodologies proved to be unsuccessful with the aluminum- and gallium-bridged [1]metallarenophanes, possibly due to steric overprotection. The synthesis and characterization of the first [1.1]metallarenophanes is described. By utilizing ligands with dimethylamine-donor functionalities, aluminum- and gallium-bridged unstrained [1.1]chromarenophanes and [1.1]molybdarenophanes have been isolated. Gallium-bridged [1.1]metallarenophanes have been determined to be Class II compounds through investigations by cyclic voltammetry. Aluminum-bridged [1.1]metallarenophanes can not be successfully characterized by electrochemical measurements because of their acute sensitivity towards oxygen and moisture. All isolated [1.1]metallarenophanes adopt anti conformations in the solid state. Several new reactive aluminum, gallium and indium and compounds have been prepared that incorporate bulky donor ligands. All new compounds have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. When comparing solid-state structures of [1]metallarenophanes, some generalizations can be made. For a given [1]metallarenophane gallium-bridged compounds are always more tilted when compared to their respective aluminum-bridged compound for reasons that still remain unknown. If the bridging element is kept constant, the tilt angles are found to increase in the order of Mo > V > Cr for the [1]metallarenophanes, which can be attributed directly to their respective metallic radii.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
