26. The reaction between ns-CB[6] and (substituted) benzaldehydes was also conducted. We were unable to purify these reaction mixtures which consist of at least two compounds probably due to the potential for two diastereomeric orientations of the pendant Ar group.

28. We did not observe intracomplex ROESY cross-peaks that would allow us to assign these complexes as a specific diastereomer. MMFF calculations (Supporting Information) suggest that the complex between ns-CB[6] and 9 is best formulated as bottom-ns-CB[6]·9.
29. Mock previously showed that CB[6] binds to 11 but rejects isomeric 12 and 13 because only the geometry of 11 allows both substituents to pass through the C=O lined portals. See: Mock, W. L.; Shih, N. Y. J. Org. Chem. 1986, 51, 4440-4446.

35. A related phenomenon has been observed by Kim and co-workers for the complex of CB[8] with long-chain alkyltrimethylammonium ions Ko, Y. H.; Kim, H.; Kim, Y.; Kim, K. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 4106-4109.
36. Rebek and co-workers have shown that n-alkanes exhibit helical conformations inside self-assembled capsules to maximize noncovalent interactions between host and guest. For a review, see Rebek, J. Chem. Commun. 2007, 2777-2789.
