127. Similar attempts with stirring show drastically reduced conversion, possibly the result of accelerated catalyst aggregation.
128. Alkyne dimers are not observed in NMR-scale reactions. The presence of the small quantities of dimer early in the preparative scale likely results from 5 -mediated dimerization of 1-hexyne before the benzylmercaptan thaws.

136. The turnover frequency for complex 1 was unobtainable due to heavy precipitate formation immediately after addition of excess thiol.

138. No NMR data on ring cleavage rates for complex 4 were obtainable due to large quantities of precipitation in the NMR tube.
139. Images of the resulting precipitates are provided in the Supporting Information.
140. Unfortunately, due to rapid catalyst precipitation, turnover frequencies could not be accurately measured for most thiols and alkynes, preventing quantitative comparison of substrate hydrothiolation activity.
141. Additional internal alkyne and terminal α-trisubstituted alkynes were surveyed and displayed little or no activity.

165. Control experiments performed without catalyst evidence the formation of free radical-derived anti-Markonikov products under reaction conditions presented in this study.
166. The radical inhibitor is added in a 1:1 molar ratio with alkyne.

174. As is discussed earlier, Markovnikov selectivity is suggestive of alkyne insertion into the M-SR bond.
