116. It should be noted that the NDI dibromide used for clipping reaction is mixed with impurities resulted from decomposition under the acidic bromination conditions and cannot be purified due to limited solubility. These impurities, together with the poorer solubility of NDI dibromide 2, are probably responsible for lower yields than the corresponding PMI derivatives.

128. 2+ units can give rise to a band with an absorption coefficient similar to that of the present catenanes. As observed in previous investigations on related catenanes (refs 15c, g), the CT band intensities in this type of catenanes do not usually scale linearly with the number of donor and acceptor units involved.

131. A very weak HQ- or DNP-type fluorescence, whose intensity was from two to three orders of magnitude smaller than that of the crown ethers 3 or 4, respectively, was detected upon UV excitation. Fluorescence lifetime measurements indicate that such emissions originate from small amounts of strongly emissive impurities.
