45. Samples were also prepared by removing all the volatiles under vacuum at 80°C for a night prior to dissolution in THF. Both methods were also applied after pretreating the sample with a 10% HCl solution in water to ensure the disruption of catalyst-polymer chain interactions. All samples gave the same results in SEC and MALDI-TOF-MS.

47. In a recent publication, Xiao et al. reported the presence of cyclohexyl but not cyclohexenyl end groups. The resolution of their MALDI-TOF-MS spectra measured in linear mode were too low to distinguish overlapping separate isotope patterns, unlike the reflector mode MALDI-TOF-MS that was used for the spectra in our study.

49. Epoxides can react with strong, nonnucleophilic bases by deprotonation in either the α- or β-position. Abstraction of the α-hydrogen produces allylic alcohols and/or ketones. The β-deprotonation pathway, on the other hand, leads to exclusive formation of allylic alcohols.

59. 2 copolymerization (18 h, 10 bar) carried out in an NMR tube did not give rise to peaks B and C. Since the glass NMR tube is much more easy to dry compared to the 200 mL steel autoclave, the presence of traces of water is assumed to crucial for the formation of peak B and C. More detailed investigation are underway.
