31. No indication of hydrogen bonding was observed for the monomer L-1 in solution independent of the solvent polarity (see the Supporting Information).
32. The persistence length q, a parameter of this model, is a useful measure to evaluate the stiffness of rodlike polymers, but only a limited number of q values have been determined for helical polymers. See Refs. [6b] and [7].
