29. We will quote free energies throughout the paper, as these reflect the experimental obervations. A table of electronic energies is included in the Supporting Information.
30. The original DFT calculations on the (dmpe)Ni system have been re-examined including polarization functions on nickel and these are the most accurate numbers. Reference 9a indicated that these polarization functions were employed, but re-examination of the log files indicated they were not. See the Supporting Information for details.
