89. Involvement of the oligomer units in initiating electron-transfer processes is unlikely due to their unfavorably high oxidation potentials (see electrochemistry section). For further details see our previous papers in references [22,23].

91. 60 reference reveals nearly solvent-independent fluorescence lifetimes (τ) of 1.5 ns.
92. the fact that the decay of both probes is similar and gives rise to kinetics that obey a clean unimolecular rate law is important.
