36. Fragmentation of arylazo sulfides is generally so fast that no molecular radical anion is detected: therefore it was not possible to perform MS/MS experiments in order to investigate the dependence of fragmentation on internal ion energy.

44. The spectrum of (E)-1a was investigated as a function of concentration; no significant change could be observed upon a hundred fold increase of the concentration.
45. •- undergoes stereomutation. The difference with the gas-phase behavior observed herein is related to the difference of the lifetimes (170 s in solution compared to less than 1 μs in gas phase).

47. As suggested by a referee, twisting of the aryl moiety in order to accomplish the Ar-S bond formation would further increase the barrier to a four-center reaction.
