52. The mismatch in the intensities of the peak at around 290 nm is because this arises from the isolated 1,4-dialkoxybenzene units of the uneliminated segments, which are not taken into account during the reconstruction of the spectra.

56. The apparent reduction in the case of MEHPPV-85 is a reflection of the approach we have chosen to quantify the energy transfer. The fractional areas above 500 nm in the emission curve of the polymers have a limiting tendency as this value approaches unity, while those of the reconstructed spectra continuously increase, causing this apparent decrease in the difference.
