Notes

a. Missing cations assumed to be protonated DAO.

b. Reaction mixture becomes cloudy but does not gel.

c. It is not certain that aging (or seeding) is beneficial.

d. Ref. [1] recommends a stirring rate of 400 rpm; static preparations or slow stirring produce MEL or mixtures of MEL + TON.

e. The size of the crystallites decreases with increasing stirring rate.
