104. In the course of this study spanning more than 10 years, both 1D and 2D NMR spectra have been recorded on a variety of instruments: VAR1AN UNITY 200 (University of New Brunswick), Bruker AM250 and AM500 (McMaster University), as well as Bruker DSX300 and DXP400 (University of Oulu). All spectroscopic information is consistent with the actual spectra reported in this contribution.
105. The intensity measurements were repeated by using a pulse width of 4.0 μs (nuclear tip angle of 23°) but keeping the acquisition time and relaxation delay constant. There were virtually no changes in the intensities.

156. 4: Sel 1061/1120, Se2 1427/1399, Se3 906/986, Se4 1400/1394. Se5 1022/999. Se6 982/1050, Se7 1063/1111.
157. 2+ (asymmetric rotamer). These assignments were rejected because of a poor fit between the calculated and observed chemical shifts, inconsistency with coupling information, or chemical implausibility (see the Supporting Information for details).

166. It can be estimated from the recorded intensities that the uncertainty in the molar amounts is ca. 5%.
167. The values given in parentheses represent the estimated standard deviations in the molar amounts.
