17. The new uduuuu conformation was first presented in the lecture "A,D-1,10-Phenanthroline-Bridged Calix[6]arenes for Catalysis" on June Ist. 2001 during the 6th International Conference on Calixarenes 2001, The Netherlands, 29.5.-2.6.2001.
18. While calix[6]arenes with free OH groups tend to exist in the all-up conformation, which is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the OH groups, there is one example of a uduuuu conformation (partial cone) for a tetra-benzylated bridged calix[6]arene: S.

22. The descriptors in and out may be used for the relative orientation of the tert-bulyl groups or the phenol oxygen atoms. In this publication the oxygen atoms are the reference points.
23. The 1,10-phenanthroline bridge defines two aryl rings of the calix[6]arene to be the rings A and D. In order to use the earliest letter possible for the flipped aryl ring, the down oriented ring has been named B, thus defining the lettering for the other aryl rings.

25. [24] are not affected by the new uduuuu conformation because the flip of the B-ring is far away from the reaction site in the copper(I)-catalysed cyclopropanation.
