24. Calculated using: ΔΔG=-nFΔE , where n is the number of electrons involved in process, F is the Faraday constant and ΔE is the change in half-wave potential following complexation.
25. 3 at 25°C: Wulff G., Schönfeld R. Adv. Mater. 10:1998;957. Unfortunately, endeavours to obtain binding constants for our neutral host-guest complexes, and hence an estimation of the magnitude of redox-enhanced binding, were hampered by the hygroscopic nature of the tetrabutylammonium salt of 2.
26. Similar electrochemical data were also observed for the 2·4 complex.
