33. The yield of the adipamide-maleamide rotaxane Z-3 (20%) is reproducibly higher than that of the model single-site adipamide rotaxane shown in Figure 2 (8%). The significant differences in yield (and the anomalously poor binding of the adipamide unit to the macrocycle in Z-3) may indicate that the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded nine-membered ring (S. H. Gellman, G. P. Dado, G.-B. Liang, B. R. Adams, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 1164-1173) has differing stabilities in the one- and two-station adipamide threads and rotaxane Z-3.

38. The rotaxane structures shown illustrate the position of the macrocycle on the thread and particularly favored intercomponent hydrogen-bonding motifs. Most of the low-energy coconformations of the rotaxanes are probably folded with the unoccupied station folding back to hydrogen bond to the macrocycle.
