10. There are many naturally occurring indole alkaloids as well as non-natural indole-based compounds that feature aliphatic rings fused to the indole nucleus. Although such compounds technically fit the definition of a cyclophane, we consider these to be outside the scope of the current investigation. This blanket omission is directly analogous to that of many orthocyclophanes from the benzenoid family. For example [2]-, [3]-, [4]- and [5]orthocyclophane are not normally viewed as cyclophanes, but rather as benzocyclobutene, indan, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene and benzocycloheptene, respectively. This is not to say, however, that the ortho mode of bridge attachment necessarily disqualifies a compound from being a cyclophane.

Strictly speaking, the Gutowsky-Holm equation applies only to equally populated singlets, in which the signal width is small relative to Δν. As such, the free energy of activation calculated here may be overstated. See Mitchell, R. H. in ref 1d, Vol. 1, Ch. 4, p. 265, and references cited therein.
