29. On-axis mass detection was employed for product mass analysis and the sequential kinetics analysis due to higher signal-to-noise ratio performance in this mode. Metal cluster removal rate analysis was done with data obtained from off-axis mass detection. No significant difference in the data obtained with the two configurations of detection used was noted, with the exception of improved resolution with off-axis detection at the expense of signal-to-noise which was somewhat worse.

32. The difficulties are related with correlation and exchange effects of variable occupation of nd, (n + 1 )s, and (n + 1 )p valence orbitals, the lack of an unambiguous reference energy in approximate DFT, and relativistic effects.

43. τ is determined directly using the delay time between the cluster generation pulse and the detection pulse. The latter is multiplied by the fraction of the total flow reactor length over which the clusters are exposed to the reagent, to obtain τ.

51. Although we feel confident that we have established the global minima for these systems, we recognize that, were the global minima structures shown to have a significantly different structure, the trend in extent of dehydrogenation and its interpretation would need to be revisited.
