24. The statistical analyses typically converge to two solutions. The solutions reported in Table 2 are those in which the isotacticity is highest at the enantiomorphic site (i.e. α > σ).

39. One possibility is that hydrogen reacts preferentially at the isospecific site and thus influences the tacticity by selectively terminating the isospecific site. Further studies are underway to probe the influence of hydrogen on these catalyst systems.
