11. According to the original chain-migratory insertion mechanism by Cossee the polymer chain migrates to the site previously occupied by the olefin and then returns to its original position: (a) P. Cossee, Tetrahedron Lett. (1960) 12.

13. In the chain migratory insertion the polymer chain switches from one site to the other: see Figure 1 and ref 1b and references therein.
