30. 1H NMR spectra have been recorded at low temperature in order to shift the resonance of the free hydroxy group in a region far away from the signals of interest. At -10°C, it was observed at 1.65 ppm (see Figure 1, spectrum a).
31. Stock solutions of chloroform (stabilized with silver foils) were routinely used with no acidic additives.
32. Variation of the spray voltage (2-7 kV), of the capillary voltage (10-50 V), and of the temperature (80-180°C) does not affect the speciation pattern in the in situ 2a system.

34. The location of the protonation site in ions III, IV, V, XI, and XII cannot be precisely assigned via ESI-MS. We will assume that the protonation occurs at the nitrogen atom of the apical trialkanolamine ligand.

The calculated geometrical parameters for peroxide 4a are comparable with previously reported data for Ti(IV) trialkanolamine complexes from difrattometric analysis (see refs 24 and 25) and calculations performed on other monomeric transition metal peroxides; see: (a) Bonchio, M.; Di Furia, F.; Licini, G.; Modena, G.; Moro, S.; Nugent, W.
