48. Crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis (note)
49. 3-symmetrical propeller-shaped helical molecules might also be called (P) and (M) enantiomers applying the stereochemical descriptors for helicenes [see a) K. P. Meurer, F. Vögtle, Top. Curr. Chem. 1985, 127, 1-76].
50. In these cases an additional convention has to be applied in that the molecules would, for example, be viewed along the axis pointing from the center of the cyclopropane ring towards the opposite bridgehead carbon atom. However, due to this arbitrary choice of directionality, the compounds designated as (P)-6 and (M)-6 would have negative and positive signs of specific rota-tions, which are opposite to those for (P)- and (M)-π- and σ-helicenes, compare b) V.
