53. In the ex situ measurement, the Raman spectra can be recorded for a significantly longer period of time than in the in situ experiment, for which the time to record each Raman spectrum must be sufficiently short to give adequate time-resolution for studying the time-dependence of the guest transport process.
54. For the ex situ experiment, the crystal was exposed to air for a much shorter period of time than in the in situ experiment. We note that some visible changes to the surface of the crystal are observed on prolonged exposure to air, although given that our confocal Raman microspectrometry experiments probe a region inside the crystal, changes observed at the surface of the crystal are unlikely to affect the results of the experiments discussed here.
55. In any case, other conformations [e.g., involving gauche C2 - C3 bonds or a kink defect (gtg')] are considered to be very unlikely given the confined space available to the guest molecules inside the urea tunnel structure.
