66. 13C NMR spectra in the ipso carbon region, regioselective Fe-Cp bond cleavage appears unlikely to have occurred in the ROP of 8. The phenyl substituents of the carbon-carbon bridge in 13 are necessarily oriented rac to one another, however the relative orientation of phenyl substituents separated by ferrocene units could not be determined.

81. For longer chains, deposition of partially oxidized chains on the electrode resulted in artificially shifted peaks, as the second wave appeared as a sharper peak caused by the lack of diffusion control from the electrode upon deposition.
