27. A 1,3,5 pattern has been observed to allow rotation of a tail through a 25-membered ring whereas a 1,2,4 pattern (through 24) did not allow such rotation; see: Rowan, S. J.; Cantrill, S. J.; Stoddart, J. F.; White, A. J. P.; Williams, D. J. Org. Lett. 2000, 2, 759-762, and ref 2b.
28. A compound that is very similar to 3 has been reported, but it was unable to self-entangle due to the rigidity of the chain between the macrocycle and the bulky chain end group; see ref 8e,f.

30. In a [l]rotaxane system where interconversion between the entangled and disentangled states was not possible, SEC was employed to help assign the states; see ref 2b. Also see: Schafmeister, C. E.; Belasco, L. G.; Brown, P. H. Chem.-Eur. J. 2008, 14, 6406-6412.
