29. (b) In many respects, the situation is similar to acid-base chemistry wherein even though an initial acid-base equilibrium might reside on the left, follow-up reactions can drive the equilibrium toward the product.

40. Most often, metal salen complexes have been used in electrochemical processes wherein one of the substrates contains an alkyl, aryl, vinyl, allyl, or propargyl halide. This makes sense mechanistically, since the reduced form of nickel can oxidatively insert into the carbon-halogen bond. See ref 16c as well as (a) Condon, S.; Nedelec, J.-Y.

52. It is possible that the outcome has nothing to do with mechanistic detail shown in Scheme 5 but instead simply reflects that the additional 0.2 V presents a thermodynamic barrier that is too high to be overcome.

56. A reviewer has made the reasonable suggestion that the proposed equilibrium could be reformulated as a molecular orbital argument involving electron density redistribution. We agree but delay doing so until we obtain evidence to favor one viewpoint over another. In some respects, we have already incorporated aspects of a molecular orbital description by suggesting that the nature of the electrontransfer agent can vary in response to the electronic requirements of the substrate.
