61. We assume that oxidation generates a net repulsion of ∼6 kcal/mol (see: S. Nygaard, B.W. Laursen, A.H. Flood, C. Hansen, J.O. Jeppesen, J.F. Stoddart, Chem. Commun. (2006) 144) lowering the barrier that was raised an extra ∼6 kcal/mol by the constricted device environment, (Ref. [45]) thus defining an effective barrier of ∼16 kcal/mol.
62. The rate constants are not labeled explicitly. They will be different, however, depending upon which bias is being applied ±2 V, and which co-conformation the rotaxanes are in, GSCC or MSCC.
