“…This intrinsic drawback could be overcome by using an α-substituted imine, namely acylhydrazone [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ]. This more robust dynamic bond has been used in the self-assembly of rings [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ], cages [ 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ], catenanes [ 37 , 71 , 72 ] as well as knots [ 73 ]. We thus envision that it might be possible to obtain bowl via acylhydrazone condensation.…”
