35. 3 is an exceptionally good solvent for PEO. Therefore, we believe that that the PDI's reported are overestimates of the actual molecular weight distributions. See: Munk, P.; Hattam, P.; Du, Q.; Abdel-Azem, A. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., Appl. Polym. Symp. 1990, 45, 289-316.

37. As a test, a polymerization was performed using 20% of the amount of potassium naphthalene calculated from the stoichiometry. The polymer product that resulted gave a bimodal molecular weight distribution and contained a significant amount of PEE-OH homopolymer. Although this level of active chain ends led to a complex product mixture, we speculate that if the amount of dormant chains was less than 10%, the polymerization would proceed without complication.
