72. One of the reviewers of this paper provided the valuable suggestion that there is a third possible pathway to generate a vacant coordination site on the iron center: i.e., through changing one of the bridging CO groups into a terminal one and breaking the Fe-Fe bond. This pathway, which would involve formation of intermediates with coordination modes rather similar to those of the CO-loss pathway, will be considered together with the CO-loss mechanism in a forthcoming paper.
