12. Both translational and pirouetting motions have been studied in copper-complexed rotaxanes by electrochemical techniques. See: a) J.-P. Collin, P. Gaviña, J.-P. Sauvage, New J.

In the last example, removing the steric barrier for the ring pirouetting led to rate enhancement.

18. There are numerous examples in the literature of nondegenerate catenaries and rotaxanes in which finely balanced translational isomerism is environmentally responsive to changes in solvent and/or temperature. See, for example, a) P. R. Ashton, M. Blower, D. Philp, N. Spencer, J. F. Stoddart, M. S. Tolley, R. Ballardini, M. Ciano, V. Balzani, M. T. Gandolfi, L. Prodi, C. H. McLean, New J.

20. Depending on the phase (e.g., solution, condensed, viscous) and the setting (e.g., surfaces, devices), different experimental signatures can be obtained, for example, from optical, dynamic NMR, reflection-absorption infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By using these analytical techniques, certain aspects of molecular structure can be determined and, to a large extent, unambiguously so. However, to date, it is temperature-dependent electrochemistry that has emerged as the technique of choice to monitor the electromechanical states of bistable interlocked molecules and the kinetics of their switching between their ground and metastable co-conformations.

35. "Alongside" interactions arising from folding of the dumbbell's backbone have been observed (see reference [7]) in solution studies of [2]rotaxanes. However, given the stereoelectronic requirements (See: M. Asakawa, P. R. Ashton, S. E. Boyd, C. L. Brown, R. E. Gillard, O. Kocian, F. M. Raymo, J. F. Stoddart, M. S. Tolley, A. J. P. White, D. J. Williams, J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 26-37.) for noncovalent interactions of the weak DNP donor, the contribution of the "alongside" interaction to the stabilization of the MSCC is expected to be small.
