50. The utility of this interplanar angle as a way of assessing the geometry of such hydride complexes has been pointed out by Lemke and Brammer, and Frost and Mebi have noted that it (the angle between the Cp ring and the Ru-P-P plane) decreases with increasing P-Ru-P bite angle within the CpRu(P-P)H series in ref 21.

65. The catalytic TOF values were measured at a temperature (298 K) two degrees below that (300 K) at which the rate constants for hydride transfer were determined, and thus the agreement between the rates of the catalytic and stoichiometric reactions is even closer than the numbers in Table 2 suggest.
