38. Cooling to 223 K did not effect complete decoalescence. Heating to 323 K resulted in some sharpening of the signals, but coalescence was incomplete, and decomposition was observed over the time scale of analysis.

49. 0 groups on opposite rings. A distance of 2.83 Å is calculated for the DFT-optimized structure of 5, this value dropping to 2.27 À if rotation is permitted. In the crystal structure of 3b, the Me0 groups on opposite mesityl rings are as little as 2.75 A apart, well within the 4-5 À internuclear distance for direct NOE correlations. (Distances based on analysis of the crystallographic data for 3b, obtained from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC143577) at www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data- request/cif).
50. 13C HOESY correlations between the mesityl or pyridine protons and the carbons of the pentabromoaryloxide ring could in principle provide positive confirmation of the trans-anionic structure. These experiments are hampered, however, by the very poor signal-tonoise ratios characteristic of these quaternary carbons, each of which bears a quadrupolar nuclide. The relative weakness of the NOE enhancement (ca. 2% of the original signal) is insufficient to compensate for these effects.
51. 1 values were determined using the standard inversion recovery sequence (180°-|-90°).
