35. The enhancement of solubility is well illustrated with hexakis(4-octylphenyl)benzene (alkylated hexabenzocoronene), which is more soluble than hexabenzocoronene. See Herwig, P.; Kayser, C. W.; Mullen, C.; Spiess, H. W. Adv. Mater. 1996, 8, 510.

39. For aromatic compounds such as pyrrole derivatives, the decay constant increases when the pH is increased, indicating rapid deprotonation of the product obtained from the condensation of the two radical cations when second-order coupling reactions occur. (See ref 24.)

49. The oxidation of HPyB to HpyB6σ requires the exchange of 12 electrons and the loss of 12 protons per molecule. The total expected charge should be slightly higher because HPyB6σ should finally be in the oxidized form at the oxidation potential of HPyB.
