36. The subscript "N" represents the configuration at the nitrogen atoms.
37. If the stereochemistry of the nitrogen atoms is ignored, there are six possible isomers for the di-μ-oxo titanium complexes: V. I. Tararov, V. S. Larichev, M. A. Moscalenko, L. V. Yashkina, V. N. Khrustalev, M. Y. Antipin, A. Börner, Y. N. Belokon, Enantiomer 2000, 5, 169-173.

39. Unfortunately, we could not obtain a sufficient amount of complex 4 for the conversion-vs.-time experiment.
40. We also detected an ion peak corresponding to a di-μ-peroxo species in the epoxidation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene by LC/ESI-MS analysis.
41. We have proposed that the corresponding di-μ-oxo titanium-(salalen) complex also gives a m-oxo-m-peroxo species in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide (Ref. [4a]).
42. Although Talsi and Babushkin also reported the synthesis of a μ-oxo-μ-peroxo titanium complex bearing an acetylacetonato ligand using 95% hydrogen peroxide, the structure was not determined unambiguously: E. P. Talsi, D. E. Babushkin, J. Mol. Catal. A 1996, 106, 179-185.

50. We cannot rule out the possibility that complexes 3 and 4 are converted directly into an active species.
