28. According to ICPMS measurements the copper content of the commercial diethylzinc solutions used is (50 ± 5) μM or less. This gives a ligand/copper ratio of at least 100:1 and a zinc/copper ratio of at least 20 000:1. We assume that these copper ions do not play any role in the catalyst cycle since other catalysts show no cuprate-like behavior. We thank Dr. Zsolt Berner, Institut für Mineralogie und Geochemie der Universität Karlsruhe (TH), for carrying out these measurements.
