23. The efficiency of self-assemblies can be measured using probability [11]. This approach also engenders a demarcation between assembly and non-assembly processes. Hence, reactions that yield products in greater yield than probability suggests can be considered self-assemblies, while those that do not are not. However, some processes, such as the macrocyclizations reactions discussed here, lie in a grey area between self-assembly and non-self-assembly processes. Until a precise method of determining the probability of an assembly is agreed upon, we describe the model reactions here as macrocyclizations rather than self-assemblies.
