20. Pseudorotaxane intermediates comprising urea-based threads and amide-based macrocycles have been proposed in elegant one-pot rotaxane syntheses from diisocyanates, a bulky aryl amine, and amide-based macrocycles. The true recognition system in this reaction, however, was not identified; the authors stated that "the mechanism of this rotaxane formation is yet not proven". See: O. Braun, F. Vögtle, Synlett 1997, 1184-1186.

25. Amide-based macrocycles have been used to construct many elegant interlocked molecules. In most circumstances, the threading of guests into these macrocycles required the cooperation of two or more suitably positioned carbonyl groups or anionic templates; see: a) G. A. Breault, C. A. Hunter, P. C. Mayers, Tetrahedron 1999, 55, 5265-5293;
