Page 4674. There was a mathematical error in the derivation of
our rate equation, eq 2. The corrected eq 2 is
k1k2[1][AgI]tot[S2O82−
k−1 + k3[2]
]
d[1]

The derivation of eq 2 has been corrected in the Supporting
Information (page S18).
In addition, the proposed mass balance in the derivation of
the rate equation does not account for the change in [AgI]tot as
the reaction progresses. Thus, the derived rate expression does
not rationalize both the observed deactivation and the negative
rate order observed for compound 2 simultaneously.
We regret this error, and a solution to this matter is currently
being investigated. We thank Prof. Donna Blackmond for
bringing this to our attention.
