58. 1, where α, the interaction parameter, is a measure of the cooperativity between the two ends of the ligand. In the given case, nonlinear regression analysis gave a α ≈ 1, thus indicating two noncooperative binding events. Because the statistical factor of four takes into account the degeneracy of the monobound species, this analysis proves identical enthalpic contributions for both binding events, see also refs. [14, 15].

69. A recent crystal structure of a related dye revealed a torsion angle of 25° for the central ring which agrees favorably with AM1 calculations: F. Wurthner, A. Sautter, C. Thalacker, Angew. Chem. 2000, 112, 1298-1301; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2000, 39, 1243-1245.

72. In principle, thermodynamic parameters ΔH and ΔS are accessible from this analysis. However, because of the rather arbitrary choice of the model no values will be given in this paper.

74. -1 solutions of pure dialkylmelamine 8c in methylcyclohexane suggest that already in the absence of bisimide dyes large-sized colloidal particles are formed.
75. A structurally related system where the solvent used for the staining procedure had a substantial effect on superstructure formation is described in ref. [4j].
76. A rod-like helical structure has been suggested for a melamine-naphthalene bisimide system. See ref. [4d].
