36. The geometry of the low energy rotamers depicted in Figure 5 is supported by the ligand orientation in the crystal structures of 8 and 9 and by computer modeling results obtained for 8/MAO by Eric Moore at Amoco.

38. Corradini and co-workers suggest that the enantioselectivity of a propene insertion is determined by the orientation of the first C-C bond of the growing polymer chain which is imposed onto it by the ligand environment, see: Corradini, P.; Guerra, G. Prog. Polym. Sci. 1991, 16, 239-257. According to Corradini, the assignments of the site stereospecificity in both rotamers of 8 and 10 and one of the rotamers of 9 should be interchanged, but it does not change the overall specificity of the rotamer.

42. Both in 1/MAO and 8/MAO the bulky methyl substituents on the cyclopentadienyl ligand are in close proximity to the catalyst active sites. In the case of unsubstituted Cp-ligand (2-6/MAO) the active center environment is more open.
