For example, several donor-acceptor polymeric systems have been synthesized and studied with respect to their electrochemical, fluorescence, and NLO properties; see: (a) Yamamoto, T.; Honda, K.; Ooba, N.; Tomaru, S.

64. The Eglinton/Galbraith ethyne coupling protocol has been widely employed for macrocyclisation reactions; see for example: Rossa, L.; Vögtle, F. Top. Curr. Chem. 1983, 113, pp 72-75.
65. 1H NMR of 5 are only slightly shifted with respect to those of the precursors 8 and 9 supports the conclusion that they do not reside for any significant time within the macrocyclic cavity.

76. (d) Yamamoto, T.; Sugiyama, K.; Kushida, T.; Inoue, T.; Kanbara, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 3930. Macrocycle 5 and related structures are thus promising candidates for the construction of proton switches, transducers, and conductors, as well as pH-responsive NLO and electroluminescent materials.
77. This is consistent with an attenuation in electronic communication between the pyridine nitrogen and the phenyl and thiophene rings in 4 and 5 due to their meta-connectivity and the intramolecular donor-acceptor interaction in 5 involving predominantly π-type orbitals.
78. Literature reports on the syntheses of heterocyclic dehydroannulenes are sparse. For systems incorporating thiophene, see: (a) Boydston, A. J.; Haley, M. M.; Williams, R. V.; Armantrout, J. R. J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 8812.

94. The term "twistophane" is used to describe ethynyl cyclophanes that are completely ortho-conjugated and helically twisted and chiral structures such as dehydrotetraarylannulenes, dehydrotetraarylannulene-type cyclophanes, and higher homologues. Cycles 1-5 are the first reported examples of the above type of systems with integrated heterocyclic N-donor sites for metal ion coordination.

119. It may be noted that solutions of 9 in pyridine and toluene are rather unstable, turning black upon standing at ambient temperature, even in the dark, for 24 h. The stability of 9 is, however, much lower in pyridine. For example, a solution of 0.20 g of 9 in 20 mL of pyridine underwent 50% decomposition at ambient temperature in the dark during 24 h, based upon recovered starting material.
