16. No differences with regard to speciation were detected between reaction systems containing either the dichloride or the dimethyl derivative.
17. Addition of propene instead of 1-hexene gives rise to analogous observations, but with a new signal at-1.62 ppm.

21. For each component of these single-proton signals, only about 1/12 of the intensity of the μ -CH3 signal at-1.55 ppm is to be expected, due to splitting by their diastereotopic counterparts and by the β-H atom.
