17. Due to low concentration of regioerrors, mole % regioerrors have an error of ±0.2%
18. The unmarked resonances at 6 14-15 ppm and ô29-33 ppm in Figure 3 are due to structures which could not be identified.
19. MAO can also act as a chain-transfer agent in propylene polymerizations. The Al/Zr ratio = 3000 for all polymerizations in this study.

26. Another possibility for the presence of only 2,1-erythro misinsertions is that the misinsertions occurring in the atactic blocks are too broad to be observed in the 13C NMR.
