33. +".
34. 2 established the coordination of one THF molecule in both complexes (see Experimental Section).
35. 2) was not observed under our conditions. See: Piers, W. E.; Koch, L.; Ridge, D. S.; MacGillivray, L. R.; Zaworotko, M. Organometallics 1992, 11, 3148-3152.
36. 8 with 1 or 2 equiv of tBuSH were found to proceed more slowly with the same selectivity.
37. 2 is consistent with a decomposition pathway involving a "base-free" cationic Zr species, as proposed in Scheme 3; see refs 4n and 12.
