32. All new compounds were characterized by satisfactory elemental analysis (C, H, N with accuracy of ±0.5%), NMR, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

37. The stoichiometry of the prevailing association complexes (1:1 or 1:2 ratio, respectively) was also confirmed by Job's method.
38. The higher binding constant for melamine receptor 7 corresponds exactly to the factor of four predicted by statistics due to the existence of two available hydrogen atoms on each amine nitrogen atom in 7; see Connors [13] and Würthner and Rebek [14].

42. The binding energies obtained from the dilution experiment in Figure 2a correspond to those obtained from the titration experiment. In contrast to this, Figure 2b shows a significantly enhanced association process.
43. The folding process of our association polymer, which is induced by various intermolecular interactions, can be compared to the superstructure formation in proteins. Similar processes are currently being investigated for block copolymers and oligomers: a) M. Muthukumar, C. K. Ober, E. L. Thomas, Science 1997, 277, 1225. b) J. C. Nelson, J. G. Saven, J. S. Moore, P. G. Wolynes, Science 1997, 277, 1793.
