22. The difference between the SCF energies of M5 and T5 with and without the pseudospectral method using BS2 is <0.09 kcal/mol.

24. There also exists another minimum in which the two ethylene molecules are perpendicular with respect to each other, but this minimum has a higher energy.
25. Structures M1 and T1 resemble to some extent the structures 2 and TS1 in the paper of Wu and Yu (Wu, Y.-D.; Yu, Z.-X. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5777-5786). In the transition-state structure, the distance between the two carbon-carbon atoms forming a σ bond is 2.088 Å.

29. Although the calculations do not predict the M3B formation, this structure has been used in order to make an analogous comparison with the higher homologues.
30. Both M8 and M10 exhibit several close H-H contacts. Although a full conformational analysis on these structures is quite expensive in computational time, we have confirmed the absence of eclipsed C-C-C-C interactions in these structures.
31. These kinds of corrections generally have only a minor influence on the total energy (differences).

33. In Figure 5, the species M1 has been taken as a reference, since M0 with R = methyl is very unstable because the Ti is highly unsaturated.
