25. For helical arrangements, the energy plots as a function of relative rotation were produced by simultaneously varying the middle macrocycle between 0 and 20° and the lowest macrocycle between 0 and 40°.
26. A small distance interval equivalent to 1/2 of the hexabencoronone core was chosen to evaluate the effect of the horizontal offset on total energies because of the high symmetry of the model compound.
