64. The free energy barrier in solution should be a few kcal/mol smaller than in the gas phase because in solution the rotational and translational motions are suppressed. (a) Tamura, H.; Yamasaki, H.; Sato, H.; Sakaki, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 16114.

70. We are aware of the fact that the Ph-vinyl reductive elimination occurs preferentially through four coordinate complexes when L is not a very bulky ligand (see below reference). To simplify the comparison between the energy profiles given in Figures 1-3, we have restricted our analysis solely to the reductive elimination reaction from three coordinate complexes. This choice does not affect the conclusions drawn, because the Ph-vinyl reductive elimination reaction from a Pd(II) complex is very fast: Brown, J. M.; Cooley, N. A. Chem. Rev. 1988, 88, 1031.

76. We have recently shown that the contribution of the phosphine-to-Pd σ-donation to the strength of Pd-phosphine bonding in Pd(II) complexes is much more important than of the Pd-to-phosphine π-back bonding (see below reference). It is thus reasonable to expect a positive correlation between the ó-donating ability of phosphines and the Pd-phosphine bond energies: Fazaeli, R.; Ariafard, A.; Jamshidi, S.; Tabatabaie, E.
