49. The alkylidene was assumed to be methylidene-derived (2H); values should be doubled when calculating conversion to 11 relative to ruthenium because it is a bimetallic species.
50. The presence of 11 has also been observed via mass spectrometry in the reaction of the bispyridyl catalyst 4 with ethylene.
