33. Attempts to isolate and structurally characterize any ruthenium complex(es) containing pseudo-dipeptide ligands have so far been unsuccessful. Spectrometric studies (NMR and ESI-MS) of solutions of the catalytically active mixture have provided no conclusive information regarding the structure(s) of the catalyst or catalyst precursor.

40. The TS structures were optimized with respect to convergence criteria and the Hessian eigenvalues.
41. These results were confirmed by the use of basis sets with additional diffuse and polarization functions. There was a considerable difference between the structures obtained with the lacvp and lacvp* basis sets. Upgrading the basis sets to lacvp* or lacvp* + made little difference.

55. Experimental and theoretical studies on Ru(arene)amino alcoholcatalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aryl ketones by Brandt et al. showed that this type of attractive interaction, which has been assumed to be dominated by electrostatic forces, is not the most important in determining the product enantioselectivity, see ref. [28].
