to diastereomers (tolyl group either "up" or "down") and/or the formation
of cis/trans isomers of the sulfonimido ligand.

[22] The solid state structure obtained for 6 is of low quality and does not
allow to unambiguously exclude the formation of an aqua adduct.
However, we believe that the formation of such an aqua complex is very
unlikely due to comparison with DFT calculated structural parameters
and energies. For a thorough discussion, see the Supporting Information.
