33. If this is indeed the red chain geometry, then the blue → red transition is a planar → undulated transition. This provides a possible cause for disorder in the crystal, as follows. A well ordered single crystal is preserved only if the alternate rotations of all chains are related by a symmetry operation of the crystal group (one may then say they are all in phase). But the phase may vary more or less randomly from one chain to another. This will only be a minor perturbation of the chain exciton properties since chain-chain interactions are weak. But only the average atomic positions will be detected by diffraction, and the chain will look planar on average. This might explain why the modulated structure has not been detected crystallographically. Note that this disorder does not imply that individual chains are disordered, they still can keep a perfect periodicity, but it is no more related to that of other chains by a symmetry operation of the crystal, as it is in the ordered crystal.
