28. We proposed in our previous paper that the reason for the decrease of activity at higher pressures may be due to high viscosity of the solutions. Investigations on the unusual pressure-dependency of the activity is now in progress.

36. Slightly lower mmmm probabilities at 100 and 250 MPa (run 27, 28) are probably due to higher productivity of meso-isomers (< 1%) at this range of pressure (see run 32, 33).
