Single point energy differences between the circular CB[n] (n = 7 or 8) and singly or doubly indented CB[n] (denoted by CB[n]-1 and CB[n]-2, respectively), from ωB97X-D/6-311(1d,1p) level of theory (QM), and different 3-fold parameters for the C(N)—C—amide N—carbonyl C torsional angle. Units are kcal/mol.
