Self-assembly is a suitable procedure for the formation of nanometer-scale molecular and supramolecular structure involving the selection of efficient building blocks. The position of pi-electron rich and pi-electron deficient structural substrates have significant influence on the organization of the self-assemblies. The translational and constitutional isomerism in (2)catenanes and (n)pseudorotaxanes is analyzed by X-ray crystallography, fast-atom bombardment mass spectroscopy and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic spectroscopy.
