41. Dibenzylammonium centers that are interlocked with DB24C8 in [2]rotaxanes are much less acidic than their noninterlocked counterparts (Cantrill, S. J.; Stoddart, J. F. Unpublished observations) and, thus, are extremely difficult to deprotonate.
42. The intermediate illustrated in Figure 6 could be further stabilized by interactions of a "distal" nature to the "bound" proton from both the secondary amine centers simultaneously. Since these additional intramolecular interactions are attainable within the confines of a nine-membered ring, their involvement in an intramolecular proton ferrying mechanism is certainly plausible. This proposed mechanism will be the subject of further investigations in our laboratory.
