33. While a linear fit to the data presented here is also reasonable, molecular weight is expected to depend on the number of cycles in PA-ROMP in an exponential fashion. When a constant catalyst death rate is assumed, plotting pulses vs molecular weight out to 40 cycles clearly shows that an exponential fit is the better choice for the data. A theoretical demonstration of this relationship is shown in the Supporting Information.
