36. Combined yield of dimers 1-3 = 100 × [2 × (combined mols of dimers l-3)]/[mols of charged AN].
37. TON = [2 × (combined mols of dimers 1-3)]/[mols of Ru]. The values are averages of three runs of which deviation was within 50.
38. The molar ratio of produced dimers 1-3 did not change largely even at a short reaction time of 0.5 h. See Supporting Information for details. See Ref. 10.
