45. The slow hydrolysis rate also suggests that most of the added water does not dissolve in the reaction mixture at 260-290 °C.
46. Cd-ODPA showed increased reactivity toward TOPS cleavage with added water, suggesting that water may contribute to the cleavage mechanism in that case. See Figure S12, Supporting Information.

53. Whether the nucleophile is free in solution as shown in Figure 8 or bound to cadmium is unknown. The transition structure drawn was chosen for the sake of simplicity.

62. We note that a cadmium center coordinated by the more acidic anhydride of ODPA is likely to bind and activate TOPSe to a greater extent, but may also be a weaker nucleophile in the cleavage step.
