35. The oxidation state of the catalytically active Co species is not clear at this point. More detailed mechanistic study is needed. See ref 3c.
36. The formation of a strong heterodimeric species (1b+1c) with two symmetrical structures is more challenging, because more precise control of the tether lengths and the torsion angle is necessary.
