40. Decomposition of complex 1 proceeds through the bimolecular coupling of the 14-electron intermediate. Thus, an increase in initiated complex will increase the decomposition rate. The decomposition of complex 2 is more complicated and several orders of magnitude slower than phosphine dissociation, For a discussion of catalyst decomposition, see: Ulman, M.; Grubbs, R. H. J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 7202.

51. 1 were obtained by magnetization transfer experiments, except for complex 4, which was determined using stoichiometric initiation with ethyl vinyl ether. The magnetization transfer technique is described in further detail in the Experimental Section. The Eyring plot from the initiation experiments with 4 is shown in Supporting Information as Figure S14.
52. Ascribing a cone angle to an unsymmetrical phosphine is not strictly correct; however, cone angles are the most commonly used method for comparing steric size.

58. 2 is described in the Experimental Section. The rate equation used in data analysis is described in Supporting Information. The assumptions made for this experiment are described in detail in ref 7b.
59. Since these are ratios of two second-order rate constants, we expect them to be comparable despite the difference in temperature.
