33. Proposed nomenclature: Biphenylo〈n〉phane; n = number of building blocks. For the meaning of 〈 〉 in cyclophane nomenclature see G. Hohner, F. Vögtle, Chem. Ber. 1977, 110, 3052-3077.
34. Whereas beltane is composed of building blocks that are connected by two bridges each, we define the term pseudo-beltane as a macrooligocycle with belt or tube shape, the framework of which is narrowed in at least one position. That is, it contains singly bridged building blocks like the biphenyl unit (cf. molecules such as 7a, 7b, and 8). For the first definition of the term beltene see ref. [1d] and R. W. Alder, R. B. Sessions, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. II 1985, 1849-1854.

41. Value is calculated (see D. F. Ewing, Org. Magn. Res. 1979, 12, 499-524) and comparable with similar substances, such as 16 (δ = 7.49), 4 (δ = 7.17), and 3 (δ = 7.34).
42. Molecular ribbons, composed of [3.3]metacyclophane units, adopt all-syn conformations; see ref. [5].

47. Similar behavior was observed for molecular ribbons, composed of [3.3]metacyclophane units.
48. A distortion in benzene rings up to about 15° is usual in cyclophanes.

54. The crystal stucture of a conformationally flexible molecule may be influenced by several factors, including crystal-packing effects. In our case the directing influence of the enclosed benzene molecules could be having an effect.
