58. Pseudorotaxanes have been defined as inclusion complexes in which a thread-like molecule is encircled by one or more ringlike molecules in such a way that the two ends of the thread are projected away from the center of the ring. In a rotaxane (Latin rota, wheel; axis, axle), the two ends of the thread are terminated by bulky groups which do not allow the passage of the ring - thus, the two (or more) components are mutually interlocked. The prefix pseudo denotes that in a pseudorotaxane the two components are not interlocked, but instead are free to dissociate because the end groups are small enough to allow passage of the ring. See, for example, ref. [28].

86. This situation may not be too surprising since the dialkylammonium ions are charged and need not be protonated by the matrix upon fast atom bombardment. Thus, peaks corresponding to the dialkylammonium ions and their (stronger) complexes may be expected to be more intense than those for protonated, but uncomplexed, crown ethers.

116. It seems that from the recent number of publications dealing with significant heat capacity effects in host - guest chemistry, chemists should include this effect routinely in thermodynamic studies on such systems. When one is aware of the effect a nonnegligible heat capacity can have on a van't Hoff plot (i.e., curvature), one can see this effect in the literature for a number of plots - although the data points appear to be aligned along a curve, a straight line of best fit is used with a reasonably accurate "R" value.
