68. Slight amount of Pd black was observed after the reaction. See also ref 39.
69. The complex 2a can copolymerize ethylene and MA with low MA ratio (unpublished resuls, see also references (12d) for a result by a pyridine adduct complex). Considering the copolymerization of MA with CO proceeds in alternating fashion, coordination of MA should occur in each catalytic cycle. Thus, MA/CO copolymerization should be more sluggish than ethylene/CO copolymerization with low MA ratio.
70. Recently, the reactivity of methyl methacrylate with Pd phosphine-sulfonate complex was studied in detail, see: Runzi, T.; Guironnet, D.; Göttker-Schnetmann, I.; Mecking, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 16623-16630

77. If the stereochemistry of poly(methyl acrylate- alt -CO) is thermodynamically controlled and the split signals at low temperature are originated from the fluctuation of higher-order structure, it is still unclear whether the regiochemistry of poly(t -butyl acrylate- alt -CO) is controlled or not.

84. However, preliminary XRD analyses showed tiny signals for poly(MA- alt -CO) and poly(CO- alt -(ethylene; MA)). The results indicate the possibility of being crystalline polymer. Further investigations for the physical properties are in progress.
85. It is known that the activity for the copolymerization of ethylene with CO is higher when diphenylphosphinopropane (DPPP) is used than that of DPPE (ref 1a). However, we chose DPPE for the discussion because of the decreased degrees of freedom of the ligand for the theoretical study. Note that the calculated energy required for the rate-determining step was 38.9 kcal/mol by utilizing DPPP as a ligand, which is even higher than that of DPPE. See section 7.

97. Comparison of B3LYP/6-31G* with Lanl2dz and B3LYP/6-311+G * with SDD +f is described in Supporting Information. Because the copolymerization was conducted under neat condition, PCM calculation was not performed to avoid inappropriate discussion. Largely, B3LYP/6-31G* with Lanl2dz in gas phase sufficiently match with our experiments. See also ref 14.

108. It was expected from these calculations that the IR spectrum of these carbonyl complexes would give us important implication. Thus, we conducted some experiments to take IR spectrum of carbonyl complexes, however, carbonyl complexes were not isolable and the signals in IR spectrum under CO atmosphere were too complicated to assign for both Pd phosphine-sulfonate and Pd dppe systems.
