36. Simple molecular mechanics (MMFF force field) calculations carried out on 2:1 complex formed between two Calix[4]arenes units of 1 and one of 3 show that the maximum distance present between sulfur atoms is within the 5 nm range, thus comparable with the diameter determined through the TEM measurements.

37. The presence of broad low energy band at ? > 700 nm has been also interpreted as a longitudinal excitation of the plasmon resonance typical for example of nanorods and nanowires; see, for example: (a) Hussain, I.; Brust, M.; Barauskas, J.; Cooper, A. I. Langmuir 2009, 25, 1934-1939.
