58. 6 were also all obtained as mixtures of their cis and trans isomers. All the attempts to separate the two isomers of these compounds were unsuccessful. For the synthesis of 1, see: G. J. Marshallsay, M. R. Bryce, G. Cooke, T. Jørgensen, J. Becher, C. D. Reynolds, S. Wood, Tetrahedron 1993, 49, 6849-6862.
59. The mean interplanar separations between the encircled p-xylene ring and the "inside" and "alongside" bipyridinium units are 3.67 and 3.60 Å, respectively. The centroid-centroid separations between the p-xylene ring of the macrocyclic polyether and the p-xylene rings of the tetracationic cyclophane are 5.16 and 4.96 Å. The associated H⋯π distances are 2.83 and 2.67 Å and the corresponding C-H⋯π angle is 162° in both cases.
60. The C⋯O, H⋯O distances [Å] and C-H⋯O angles [°] are 3.36, 2.44, 161 and 3.38, 2.47, 157, respectively.

63. The intracatenane separation between the C = C bond of the TTF unit and the C-C bond linking the two pyridinium rings of the "inside" bipyridinium unit is 3.76 Å.
