27. Ball has recently reported observation of an equilibrium mixture of σ-pentane complexes to an unsaturated rhenium fragment, showing a slight preference (0.13 kcal/mol) for secondary coordination. See: Lawes, D. J.; Geftakis, S.; Ball, G. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 4134.
28. Since all methyl groups contain 3 C-H bonds and all methylenes 2 C-H bonds, we will quote binding on a "per group" basis rather than a "per hydrogen" basis.

32. Alternatively, one could formulate a model in which binding was the same but the rate of oxidative cleavage was different for the two types of methyl group C-H bond. The relative rates would be the same as those found with the present model.
