46. The catalyst system showed a tendency to give high enantioselectivity at lower concentrations (higher S/C ratios; see the Supporting Information). Weak positive nonlinear effects were also observed. These observations suggest that the catalytic species is monomeric, although weakly interacting dimeric or oligomeric structures also exist.
