138. The proposed ring-in-ring approach to the synthesis of molecular Borromean rings (Figure1d) first appeared in the literature as part of a review on template-directed synthesis, but no attempts, as far as we know, had been made to prepare the complexes and compounds featured in the review (see:, T. J. Hubin, A. G. Kolchinski, A. L. Vance, D. H. Busch, Adv. Supramol. Chem. 1999, 6, 237-357). The molecular Borromean rings have been a long-standing synthetic target within our research group, and similar proposed retrosyntheses involving ring-in-ring complexes had been discussed and syntheses attempted prior to the publication of the Busch review in 1999, albeit without any significant progress being made towards a synthesis of the molecular Borromean rings.

167. 6 of the bis-DNP crown 1 and the bis-TTF crown 2 is reflected in the difference in binding constants between cyclobis(paraquat-para-phenylene) and derivatives of DNP and this dimethyleneoxy-substituted TTF (see:, J. W. Choi, A. H. Flood, D. W. Steuerman, S. Nygaard, A. B. Braunschweig, N. N. P. Moonen, B. W. Laursen, Y. Luo, E. DeIonno, A. J. Peters, J. O. Jeppesen, K. Xu, J. F. Stoddart, J. R. Heath, Chem. Eur. J. 2006, 12, 261-279). We have been unable as yet to ascertain why the binding behavior of DNP and dithio-TTF derivatives, which have quite similar association constants with cyclobis(paraquat-para- phenylene), are not reflected in these ring-in-ring complexes.

A very similar intramolecular CH̄π interaction is observed in the solid-state structure of the related crown ether, 1,5-dinaphtho[38]crown-10, in this case between protons on the α-methylene group associated with both of the glycol chains and the nearby DNP units.
