42. A switch between the two enantiofaces of the growing chain only requires a rotation around the Zr-O(chain)-C(chain)-C(chain) dihedral angle. Of course, this is most likely to occur in the coordination intermediate, when the chain is attached to Zr with only one O atom.
43. Stereo is the energy difference between the lowest in energy transition states leading to opposite configurations of the chiral C atom in the polymer.
44. Similarly to the case of propene polymerization by the same catalyst, the CIP nomenclature has been used to assign the absolute configuration to the metal atom. See ref 12.
