32. Upon evacuating samples of the bisphenoxide complexes of zinc at reduced pressures at ambient temperature, some THF is lost from the isolated solid. That is, the ratio of THF to zinc is less than 2:1, generally being about 1.8:1 if evacuation is not carried out for a prolonged period.

38. 2 (thanks to Dr. Christine Costello at Exxon Research, Annandale), the yield (357 g/g of Zn) and % carbonate linkages (90) of copolymer were essentially identical to those of an otherwise analogous run performed at 80 °C and 800 psi pressure (366 g/g of Zn and 91% carbonate linkages).

47. 16 no phenoxide complex of zinc possessing a coordination number greater than 4 has been observed.

49. Molecular modeling studies indicate that the two-coordinate zinc complexes resulting from ancillary ligand dissociation should be too sterically hindered to afford dimer structures. Furthermore, we have generally found these aggregate structures, when formed from smaller phenoxide ligands, not to be soluble in nonpolar solvents such as benzene.
