Note that the term "daisy chain" is used to describe an interwoven chain - initially made from daisies in the macroscopic world - in which each monomer unit has a donor and an acceptor site to promote threading. Consequently, the daisy chain monomer can self-assemble to form both cyclic (c) and acyclic (a) complexes and, after stoppering, molecules. The numerical descriptor, which accompanies c or a in square brackets, is the number of monomer units that make up the (super)structure, e.g., a [c2]daisy chain is a cyclic dimer.
