13. The presence of negligible but apparently detectable amounts of Mg has been reported in ref 2a. Larger amounts of Li and Mg have been shown to be present in the case of the reaction of porous silicon with Grignard reagents. See: (a) Song, J. H.; Sailor, M. J. J. Am. Chem.

28. One of the reviewers suggested that the odd behavior of anisole-the only oxygenated solvent in the series investigated-could also be the result of a higher residual water content. As traces of residual water are indeed an important factor in the modification of hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces this explanation can currently not be excluded, although distilled anisole was dried over NaOH prior to use.

30. Although the free volume of tert-butylbenzene is larger than that of mesitylene, the diameter of the molecule with respect to that of the phenyl ring is only slightly increased by the tert-butyl group. This group has a diameter of approximately 4.4 Å, which is similar to the diameter of approximately 4.3 Å of a phenyl ring. As mesitylene has a diameter of 5.4 Å, this difference in the width of the two molecules, combined with the presence of a relatively large alkyl group in tert-butylbenzene, may explain the observed differences between the two solvents at lower 1-hexadecene concentrations.
