8. The induced CD terminology (see, for example: K. Vickery, B. Nordén, in Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry (Eds.: J. C. Lindon, G. E. Tranter, J. L. Holmes), Academic Press, London, 2000, pp. 869-874) is used to emphasize the fact that the chiral diol moiety, which may be virtually transparent, induces a nonvanishing CD over the electronic transitions allied to the achiral dimolybdenum core.
9. In general, the empirical rule may be formulated as follows, making use of the steric descriptors "bS" and "bR". [1] For each alcoholic chiral carbon, the "bS"/"bR" configuration is assigned: the first priority is given to the hydroxyl, the second to the adjacent -C-OH, and the remaining two substituents are ordered according to their bulkiness (Ph/H for 1; Me/H for 2). In most cases "bS" corresponds to S and "bR" to R. The rule states that a "bR" or "bR,bR" 1,2-diol always gives rise to a negative CD band IV.[1,2a]

A fourth signal is always present in our spectra as a small singlet at δ = 1.40 ppm, which apparently exchanges (saturation transfer and EXSY experiments) with the methyl signal of acetic acid at δ = 1.90 ppm. Its position and intensity are entirely independent of measurement conditions (water content in DMSO, sample aging and degradation); its origin is uncertain.

Moreover, when a tenfold more concentrated sample (28.2 mM with a 0.01 cm cell pathlength) and a thoroughly dried flask and cell (in order to minimize the relative quantity of water) are used, a twofold more intense CD is obtained, with an exceptionally slow time evolution (stationary conditions are reached two to three times more slowly).
39. The two minor species of the bound diol 2 have hardly detectable doublets for the methyl protons at δ = 1.06 and 1.19 ppm, with integrals smaller than 10% with respect to the major species (less than 1% with respect to the free diol). These minor species are not present as regularly as the main complex, so that in some conditions (depending on the water content and the solution aging) they are not detected at all. This may explain the slight variability in the CD spectra noted before for 2 and other nonhindered 1,2-diols.[1]

43. The only reported substitution of acetate ligands with alcohols requires use of a strong base for forming the alkoxide;[12] according to one report, however, trifluoroacetate is dissociated and protonated by the action of even an amine, though one with acidic properties (M.-C. Suen, Y.-Y. Wu, J.-D. Chen, T.-C. Keng, J.-C. Wang, Inorg. Chim. Acta 1999, 288, 82-89).

50. We cannot account for the small Δδ found for the methine protons of 2; they lie, however, quite out of the O-Mo-Mo-O plane (Figure 4), which corresponds approximately to one nodal plane of the δ orbital, and the anisotropy exerted by the quadruple bond might deviate from the expected cylindrical symmetry.

69. This demonstrates that the calculated shieldings are largely dependent on the overall structure (that is, parallel/perpendicular and/or with axial/equatorial substituents), and a small variation in structural parameters such as bond lengths and angles, within reasonable ranges, has only a limited effect.
