  1. aTurnover number (TON), number of equivalents of OX consumed per equivalent of catalyst.
  2. bRelative integrals, in the normalised 1H NMR spectrum of CH2 resonances due OSS versus other heterocarbonate links.
  3. cDetermined by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) measurements conducted in THF, using narrow MW polystyrene standards to calibrate the instrument.
  4. dCalculated assuming initiation of both acetate coligands. OX purified over CaH2 for run #1-#7 and successively over CaH2 and Na for run #8-#10.
