19. Addition of TFA slightly, but constantly, improved the enantioselectivity. ESIMS studies demonstrated that TFA is incorporated in the polymetallic complex. TFA likely bridges two Gd metals in the complex, and thus finely tunes the relative position of the two metals. In addition, TFA enhances the Lewis acidity of Gd in the catalyst.

31. An extreme example in which the 2:3 complex and the 4:5+μ-oxo crystal demonstrated contrasting catalyst function was the asymmetric Strecker reaction of ketoimines. These two asymmetric catalysts produced reversed enantioselectivity in an excellent level. See Ref. 14.
32. Crystal structure of another polymetallic complex (La-1=6:8+2OH complex) described in Ref. 14 also contained this general module.

38. Similar temperature dependency was also observed when using 18f and 18g as substrates.
39. The syn isomer should be generated from the kinetically produced anti isomer through catalyst-mediated epimerization of the benzylnitrile moiety.
40. In the reaction of 18f, which has a relatively small size compared to 18g and 18i, the liberation of the product might be hindered due to the high coordinating ability of the product to the metal.
