47. In this paper, we use the term "conformation" when we refer to the macrocycle as an isolated structural entity, and we use the term "co-conformation" when we refer to the entire rotaxane. Co-conformation refers to the relative positions and orientations of the mechanically interlocked components with respect to each other. Fyfe, M. C. T.; Glink, P. T.; Menzer, S.; Stoddart, J.

55. Nucleophilic substitution of squaric acid, or its corresponding diesters, with amines can potentially give 1,2- or 1,3-bis(squaramide) isomers as products. The isomer ratio is dependent on the reaction conditions. For discussions of this synthetic chemistry, see: (a) Neuse, E. W.; Green, B. R. J. Org. Chem. 1974, 39, 3881-3887.

57. The unequal vicinal coupling indicates that the macrocycle is not flipping rapidly on the NMR time-scale between conformations that exchange psuedoaxial and psuedoequatorial CH positions. A fixed macrocyclic chair conformation in 5 can be ruled out because it would exhibit four diastereotopic methylene CH signals, corresponding to two sets of inequivalent psuedoequatorial protons and two sets of inequivalent psuedoaxial protons.
58. 2 core has no protons to allow NMR studies, and any NMR observable group that is directly attached to the core (e.g., an anilino ring) can undergo rapid spinning about the connecting single bond.
