1. Perhaps the most outstanding contribution has come from the brilliant work of Rolf Huisgen. His efforts have helped transform the 1,3-dipolar addition from an almost obscure phenomenon into a major reaction type. See: (a) Huisgen, R. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1963, 2, 562;

48. In this work, we use the term orientation complex to characterize the spatial arrangement of the reactants at the beginning of the bonding interaction. See ref 1.
49. Nevertheless, orientation complexes, as a result of van der Waals interactions, have recently been found for ozone and ethylene in the gas phase and were confirmed by ab initio calculations.

55. This may be denoted as HOMO-controlled (the interaction of the dipole HOMO with the dipolarophile LUMO is greatest). See ref 10.

57. It is of interest to note that the cycloaddition of nitrile imine (CNN) is more favorable than that of diazomethane (NNC) as given in Table 2. The reason for this can also be traced back to the singlet-triplet splitting of these 1,3-dipoles. See Table 3.
