91. 154Sm: 22.7%. The peaks at m/z 1710 were 0.5 mass units apart in ESI-TOF-MS analysis. Judging from the peak distribution patterns, the peak at m/z 1710 was speculated to be composed of a mixture of a dicationic hexamer as well as a monocationic trimer. Other peaks were assigned in analogy based on m / z as well as the peak distribution pattern. See the Supporting Information for the ESI-TOF-MS spectra.
92. The difference in the reaction rate with and without 4- t Bu-phenol additive also supported our assumption. The reaction rate in the absence of 4- t Bu-phenol was 3.6-fold faster than that with 4- t Bu-phenol. See the Supporting Information for detailed experimental data.
93. Kinetic data of the order in catalyst also matched well with ESI-MS analysis. In the presence of 4- t Bu-phenol additive, the order was slightly lower than 1st (0.9th order, Figure 6), suggesting that trimer and higher order aggregates would exist in equilibrium and the trimer complex would be the active species. In contrast, the order in catalyst was greater than 1st (2.0nd order, see the Supporting Information) in the absence of 4- t Bu-phenol additive. The data implied that trimer and higher order aggregates would exist in equilibrium and higher order aggregates would participate in the reaction in the absence of 4- t Bu-phenol.
