25. Until recently, attempts described in the literature to prepare polycatenanes have been carried out by statistical approaches. They relate to [n]catenanes in which each component consists of cyclic polymers, that is, catenated polymers or polymeric catenanes, as opposed to polymers containing catenanes as repeating units, that is, polycatenanes.
