The bond between carbon and chlorine, known as the C–Cl bond, is a fundamental building block in organic chemistry and materials science. This specific interaction influences everything from the stability of pharmaceuticals to the environmental behavior of industrial solvents. Understanding how these atoms connect and react helps scientists design safer chemicals and develop new methods for breaking down persistent pollutants in our ecosystem.

At Gist.Science, we process every new preprint in this category directly from arXiv to make these complex findings accessible to everyone. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a curious learner, you can access both plain-language overviews and detailed technical summaries for each study. This dual approach ensures that the nuances of C–Cl chemistry are clear without losing the scientific rigor found in the original manuscripts.

Below are the latest papers on carbon-chlorine interactions, updated daily as they appear on arXiv.

Decoupled Alignment for Robust Plug-and-Play Adaptation

This paper introduces DAPA, a training-free, plug-and-play safety enhancement method that leverages knowledge distillation and model fusion to inject alignment signals from well-aligned models into shadow-aligned ones, significantly improving defense success rates against harmful inputs without compromising performance.

Empirical evidence of Large Language Model's influence on human spoken communication

This study provides empirical evidence that the release of ChatGPT causally influenced human spoken communication by increasing the frequency of specific words in spontaneous speech, demonstrating that humans internalize and adopt the lexical patterns of large language models, thereby integrating AI into the ongoing process of cultural evolution.

Step-Tagging: Toward controlling the generation of Language Reasoning Models through step monitoring

This paper introduces Step-Tagging, a lightweight framework that uses a novel reasoning step taxonomy (ReasonType) to enable real-time monitoring and early stopping of Language Reasoning Models, achieving a 20–50% reduction in token generation while maintaining comparable accuracy across mathematical and non-mathematical benchmarks.

WavePhaseNet: A DFT-Based Method for Constructing Semantic Conceptual Hierarchy Structures (SCHS)

This paper proposes WavePhaseNet, a method that reformulates LLM attention mechanisms through measure theory and frequency analysis to construct a Semantic Conceptual Hierarchy Structure via Discrete Fourier Transform, thereby enabling dimensionality reduction and cohomological regularization to theoretically mitigate hallucinations and enforce logical consistency.

Quantum Compositional NLP for Arabic: Grammar, Morphology, and Word Sense in Circuit Topology

This paper introduces the first application of pregroup grammar-based quantum compositional natural language processing to Arabic, demonstrating through controlled experiments that quantum circuits mirroring the language's morphological and syntactic structure can effectively model word order, tense, and word sense disambiguation compared to classical baselines like AraVec and AraBERT.

LBA: Textual Hard-Label Adversarial Attack under Low Query Budgets

The paper proposes LBA, a sampling-based method that iteratively integrates prior and posterior knowledge to construct an approximate distribution of high-quality adversarial examples, thereby significantly outperforming existing greedy approaches in generating semantically preserved hard-label adversarial texts under low query budgets.
