11. Note that dppp was referred to as L3 (according to the convention employed by Bertino et al. in ref 3) in our previous work in order to distinguish it from 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane (referred to therein as L5), which was also considered in that study.

16. We used density functional theory within two different approximations; the B3LYP hybrid functional and PBE generalized gradient functional. Two basis sets, LANL2DZ and SDD, were used, both with 60 electron core pseudopotentials for Au and differing sized cores for P. Negligible differences were seen in using different basis sets and functionals. All calculations were performed using the Gaussian03 program suite with default criteria for convergence and density grids. In some cases, XQC was needed to converge the single-point energies. See refs 11a-j for details.
