50. The exchange of DMAP for poly(4-vinylpyridine) at the fourth coordination site of bimetallic Pd- and Pt-pincer complexes has been exploited in the chemoresponsive viscosity switching of a metallo-supramolecular network; see: (b) Loveless, D. M.; Jeon, S. L.; Craig, S. L. J. Mater. Chem. 2007, 17, 56-61.
51. A proton-driven ligand exchange of diethylamine and lutidine coordinated to Pd(II) has previously been reported; see: (a) Hamann, C.; Kern, J.-M.; Sauvage, J.-P. Dalton Trans. 2003, 3770-3775.

Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: A Comprehensive Text, 6th ed.; John Wiley & Sons: New York, 1999. A contributing reason as to why the proton discriminates DMAP and pyridine better than the Pd-macrocycle complex may be because the proton is charged while the Pd-macrocycle is not. However, since this is not the situation in ref 12a, where proton-driven ligand exchange at Pd(II) also occurs, it is presumably not a major factor in the present system either.

64. The modest yield of rotaxane in the stoppering step is probably a consequence of using a triphenylphosphine-mediated reaction with a Pd-complexed pseudo-rotaxane. Alternative methodologies are currently being investigated.
65. Similar effects have been observed upon increasing the steric bulk about the coordination sphere in other Pd and Pt complexes. For examples, see: (a) Atwood, J. D. Inorganic and Organometallic Reaction Mechanisms, 2nd ed.; Wiley-VCH: New York, 1997.
