28. In effect this is a manifestation of the cation-π interaction (D. A. Dougherty, Science 1996, 271, 163), with the nearby π system appearing to act as a weak fifth ligand for the Zn atom. The Zn-π distance is much greater than in a conventional Zn-O bond so it is not surprising that we detect no displacement of the metal from the porphyrin plane.
29. The possible π-π interaction between porphyrins p2 and p3 in complex 4 (Figure 5) is probably weak (if it exists at all), given the geometrical relationship, and therefore it is not expected to significantly change the Lewis acidity of the Zn atoms.
30. 4 planes in the various receptors should correspondingly be corrected.
31. 1 space group, so each crystal contains either only optically active left-handed or the optically active righthanded conformers. There are, of course, an equal number of left- and right-handed crystals in any one batch, which on dissolution give no optical activity; see: G. A. Jeffrey and W. Saenger, Hydrogen Bonding in Biological Structures, Springer, Berlin. 1991, p, 175.
32. As the directional properties in hydrogen bonding of the O-H⋯O type are very soft (see: R. Taylor, O. Kennard, Acc. Chem. Res. 1984, 17, 320-326), this gives further confidence for hydrogen bonding in the framework drawn in Figure 6.
33. As the precision in the location of hydrogen atoms is less than for oxygen atoms, we present the O⋯O distances. However, Figure 6 represents the observed relative orientation of the hydrogen bonding in complex 4.
