83. Interestingly, in a structure which contains both pyridyl and pyridinium rings, the stacking interactions involve the pyridyl ring: R. Prins, P. J. M. W. L. Birker, G. C. Verschoor, Acta Crystallogr. Sect. A 1982, 38, 2934-2935.
84. Although stacking interactions between triazoles and pyridyl rings have been observed previously (V. L. Rusinov. T. L. Pilicheva, A. A. Tumashow, G. G. Aleksandrov, E. O. Sidorow, I. V. Karpin, O. N. Chupakhin, Khim. Tekhnol. Vody Khim. Get. Soedin. 1990, 12, 1632-1637), so far as we can establish, none have been reported that involve either pyridinium or bipyridinium units.
85. The extent of the spontaneous resolution process might depend not only on the catenane architecture hut also on the conditions of the crystallization; poor quality crystals obtained from an evaporating acetone solution led to only poor refinement factors from X-ray diffraction data. The collected data showed two independent molecules in a centrosymmetric monoclinic space group, that is, no spontaneous resolution had taken place. In this case, the crystals had grown under different conditions implying faster nucleation. This constitutes the first example of polymorphism in this family of compounds.
86. An equal numher of co-conformations are possible for the series of translational isomers containing 1H-1,2,4-triazole units inside the cavity of the tetracationic cyclophane.
87. CD spectra of dissolved single crystals in solution in a range of temperatures from 25 to -40°C seem to indicate the preferential formation of one conformational enantiomer at low temperature, but the very low intensities of the Cotton effects indicate rapid isomerization upon dissolution.
