22. The complex was generated by reaction of 1P with cis-2-butene, propene, or 2-methyl-2-butene. Note added in proof: Complexes 2P, 2B, and 3P have appeared in a very recent report: Lehman, S. K., Jr.; Wagener, K. B. Organometallics 2005, published ASAP.

26. -1. This likely indicates that near-saturation conditions exist at these higher concentrations. The small decrease can be attributed to either a solvent effect (2.0 M corresponds to a 1/2 alkene/C6D6 ratio) or experimental error.
