35. Some olefin always remains in solution and can be identified by comparison of its retention time with authentic samples. Mixtures observed appear to be the equilibrium distribution of isomers due to facile isomerization by the catalyst, see:, S. Biswas, Z. Huang, Y. Choliy, D. Y. Wang, M. Brookhart, K.
