30. The chain length of poly-3BCMU chains diluted in their monomer matrix has not been measured yet. However, it is expected that it will be comparable to that of poly-4BCMU, since the respective weight average molecular weights obtained after extensive polymerization are comparable for the two polymers.

32. An indirect indication of triplet mobility is given by the fact that the calculated hyperfine splitting is larger than the EPR linewidth measured in some cases, indicating the presence of motional narrowing, see Ref. [20].
