31. In the presence of oxygen, next to c and d, other vinyl radical-derived products are produced. See: J. M. Verbeek, M. Stapper, E. S. Krijnen, J.-D. Van Loon, G. Lodder, S. Steenken, J. Phys. Chem. 1994, 98, 9526-9536.
32. A trace amount of Ph-C≡C-F is produced via β-proton loss from the vinylic cation.

44. [10] plot final concentration ratios instead of reaction rate ratios. Care must be taken, however, to avoid free radical induced cis/trans isomerization or, in the case of photochemical approaches, photochemical isomerization;

46. The difference in activation enthalpy for an exothermic radical scavenging will be mainly composed of the difference in steric repulsion for cis and trans attack, which follows from the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle.
47. The vibrational contribution to the molecular partition function, and thus to the entropy is usually the largest. The normal modes of a molecule, in turn, are determined by symmetry; cf., for instance, P. W. Atkins, Physical Chemistry, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1995, 5th edition, chapters 16, 19 and 20.

51. Irradiation of 5a yields Ph-C≡C-C≡C-H and Ph-C(H)=C=C=C(H)-Br (tentative structure), produced from the vinylic cation by β-proton loss and 1,3-bromide shift, respectively.
