101. One caveat on the lifetime measurements: when the presence of a bulk metal precipitate is noted, the TTOs given in Table 1 or in the main text are an upper limit to the TTOs due to nanoclusters alone and as indicated by placing the TTO number in brackets, [TTOs]. See also Table 1, p 4900, in ref 25 for data showing that any bulk metal present generally has a considerably lower surface area in comparison to that of the nanoclusters and, therefore, a significantly slower rate of hydrogenation than the nanoclusters-a fortunate situation that helps limit (the still nonzero, however) contribution of bulk metal to the observed TTO number.
