56. In a prescient communication published back in 1993, Gokel and Kaifer showed that "it is possible to utilize noncovalent intermolecular interactions, such as stacking forces between aromatic π-donor and π-acceptor subunits, to build a catenane-like structure supported on gold surfaces".

66. 1H NMR timescale at room temperature and so only averaged signal information is available. At low temperature, where the isomerism becomes "frozen out", it would appear that the major translational isomer is overwhelmingly preferred at equilibrium and so no evidence for the minor isomer can be found.
