31. Higher solubility of the reduced oligomers when compared to that of the oxidized oligomers would lead to a partial redissolution of the oligomers during the reverse scan and thus will also contribute to an increase in the dissymmetry between the oxidation and reduction peaks.

35. When the initial monomer concentration is increased, the reversibility appears for higher scan rates, meaning that the lifetime of the electrogenerated radical cation is lower.

44. (a) It has been predicted through quantum chemical modeling concerning a different type of monomer (pyrrole) that, for the formation of a long oligomer, the mechanism might involve the coupling of the oligomer dication with a nonoxidized monomer unit instead of coupling of the two radical cations. If a similar change of mechanism is also possible during fluorene electropolymerization, it is very difficult to obtain kinetics information about this following reaction step. Moreover, the oligomer length required to pass from one mechanism to the other one should also be different in pyrrole and fluorene series,

46. DFT geometry optimization tends to metalized organic radical cations; if this effect impacts the terminal carbon spin density, this known defect of DFT calculations will not modify the calculated trend.
