59. In fact, a recent study on the dimerization of oligothienylenevinylene radical cations reveals a much stronger preference for dimerization of oligomers with α-alkyl substituents than β-substituents; see ref 37.

70. In fact the temperature independence only shows that the π-dimerization equilibrium does not shift in the temperature range. In principle this does not imply that π-dimers are absent, since a similar result could have been obtained when all cation radicals are present as π-dimers, even at the highest temperature.
