17. The importance of the degree of association of the catalyst can be illustrated by considering that the concentration of the reaction is crucial in some instances: a) G. E. Keck, D. Krishnamurthy, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 2363-2364;

59. Such ferrocenyldiphosphane ligands may perhaps be particularly susceptible to additives due to their complex structure with respect to the metal center.
60. Of course, amines in general might still be the most important additives in the future.
