17. We believe that the crystals, which melted at 112-125 °C, were formed during solution polymerization, and they are not stable in the sense that we could not regenerate them when an as-polymerized PHQ10 specimen was either heated to a high temperature (say above 260 °C) and then cooled down to room temperature or dissolved in tetrachloroethane and then reprecipitated. Later in this paper we will present the results of WAXD patterns.
