42. In arriving at a value for fΔμ⊥ that part of the theory of ref 16 that assumes that the variance of Δμ is zero was used. However, in that reference it is shown that the introduction of a Gaussian distribution for Δμ makes only a small difference when F of eq 3 is ≲3.5.

56. Coupling energies of Pearlstein were uniformly reduced by about a factor of 2. It was argued that the energy disorder relative to the excitonic couplings between subunits of the trimer is sufficiently large to cause localization on a single subunit.

71. These findings for localization are valid for weak energy disorder, which means that the disorder-induced matrix elements between energetically different exciton levels are comparable to or smaller than the spacings between the levels. Low-temperatuare absorption and hole-burned spectra are consistent with weak energy disorder.48

73. This assumption is made even when the S/N ratio of the absorption band is high enough to yield acceptable first and second derivatives.
