25. -] tetradentate bis(Schiff base) ligands. "salen" itself is often used to indicate a member of this class, that which is derived from ethylenediamine. However, for ease of nomenclature in the remainder of this article the term salen will also be used to describe the general class of bis(salicylaldimine) ligands and their complexes.

31. EDA is known to thermally add to ethylenic linkages to form five-membered pyrazoline carboxylic esters via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. (See: Drake, N. L.; Sweeney, T. R. J. Org. Chem. 1948, 11, 67-74.1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Chemistry; Padwa, A., Ed.; Wiley: New York, 1984; Vol. 1.) At higher temperatures, these pyrazoline rings lose nitrogen to form cyclopropanes. The high yields of some of the thermal background reactions could be attributed to this process (Table 2, entries 1 and 2). The different yields of the thermal background reactions could be explained by the different boiling points of the solvents used under reflux conditions (Table 2).

33. It is known that styrene and EDA react at high temperatures to give the respective cyclopropane products when neat styrene is used (68% yield relative to EDA). See: Burger, A.; Yost, W. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1948, 70, 2198-2201.
34. We note that Mukherjee and co-workers have observed that increasing the steric bulk at the 3- and 3′-positions causes the Fe-O-Fe moiety to be more linear but does not change the individual Fe-O bond length. See: Mukherjee, E. N.; Stack, T. D. P.; Holm, R. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, 1850-1861.
