20. Takeuchi, M.; Kijima, H.; Hamachi, I.; Shinkai, S. Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1997, 70, 699. In this paper and in private communications, Takeuchi et al. described the synthesis of 4, involving the hydrolysis of 2a (ref 4a) followed by esterification in 19% yield.
21. On the basis of the procedure reported by Ogawa et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 5783)
22. and Wong et al. (J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 1041), which does not involve the production of boronic acid, we attempted the synthesis by reacting the lithiate of 3-pyridyl with trimethylborate, followed by removal of solvent and treatment with methanol. Unfortunately, polymeric materials were obtained.

26. Since single crystals of 3 could not be obtained, the molecular structure was calculated by AM1. The THC value of the boron atom and the length of the B-N bond in 3a are estimated to average 80.8% and 1.634 Å, respectively.
27. Using AM1 calculations, we also estimated the enthalpic contribution to the free energy change associated with self-assembly: 1a, 11.2 kcal/mol; 2a, 10.9 kcal/mol; 3a, 9.2 kcal/mol. This order is not consistent with the scrambling conditions, nor does it support sole unimolecular dissociation of the B-N bond during scrambling.
28. As model compounds for monomer, we also used pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, or 4-methoxypyridine. However, standing at ambient temperature for several days remained unchanged.
