52. In MCH the absorption maximum is shifted by about 12 nm to lower wavelengths with respect to chloroaliphatic solvents, indicating a higher dependence of the optical properties of core-substituted naphthalene bisimides on solvent effects than for perylene bisimides.

55. Two more possibilities arise if we consider the position of the NH-alkyl chains in space. However, as these could not be resolved by STM they are not discussed here. Nevertheless, they constitute another reason for the observed disorder.
