66. 1H NMR spectra of precursors 12, 13, and 14 each featured a singlet at (δ = 3.05-3.07 ppm attributable to the alkynyl proton. As expected, these signals were no longer seen in the spectra of the cor-responding dimers 21, 22, and 23.
67. 13C NMR signals corresponding to the terminal, alkynyl carbons in precursors 17, 19, and 20 at (δ=78.3, 71.0, and 73.2 ppm are re-placed by signals attributable to the new quaternary sp carbons in 24, 25, and 26 at (δ=74.4, 67.6, and 68.6 ppm, respectively.
68. It should be noted that compounds 29b and 30b are new bioorgano-metallic derivatives, which have a ferrocene-triazole tether joining the two natural fragments.

70. 13CNMR spectra of dimers 29a-c, 30a, b, and 3.1 were almost identical to those of their precursors, except for the absence of the alkynyl proton signal and the appearance of signals attributa-ble to the tether and the newly formed triazole rings.

90. It is known that kinetically controlled processes frequently lead irre-versibly to the kinetic and statistical distribution of products, includ-ing a collection, of linear/cyclic oligomers and polymers of different chain lengths, thus inevitably resulting in poor yields of the desired macrocyclic structures. This is in contrast with the reversible reactions that form macrocycles under equilibrium conditions. In these cases, the thermodynamic stability allows the preparation of the macrocyclic target molecule, overcoming the formation of undesired by-products (dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC)), see: W. Zhang, J. S. Moore, Angew. Chem. 2006, 118, 4524;
