13. 2h while for all-trans oligoenes the reorganilation energy effect leveled off for molecules the length of which exceeded several double bonds (the length self-localized polarons), no leveling off was observed in calculations for heterocyclic conjugated systems, such as oligothiophenes.

18. (a) Broadening of the feature in the GISAXS pattern with the increase of the incident angle points to some decrease of the degree of nanofibrillar ordering with the increase of distance from the surface, cf SI.
19. (b) Importantly, the periodicity was not observed in the samples cast from chloroform, pointing to the potential variability of the degree of nanofibrillar order under the influence of kinetic factors and/or solvent properties, cf SI.
