26. 2 peaks significantly broadened. If it is cooled before the old phase is completely consumed, it returns largely to old phase, but with some new phase and DADB still present. In both cases, within 1 min of reheating, the spectra looked identical to when the heating stopped
27. No visible melting of the polycrystalline material was observed. See supplementary material, Fig. S2, showing photographic images of AB in a melting point capillary at 90°C at times of 5, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60 min

33. Control experiments show that addition of a small fraction of DADB to a pure sample of AB significantly reduces if not eliminates the observed induction period at 88°C. The details of these experiments will be reported in a subsequent paper

35. 2 peaks at similar intensities. Despite these spectral features, both sets of data yield similar results in terms of product identity and yield
