20. -1 has been reported for a ladder-type polymer, it is worth noting that this material was processed using methanesulfonic acid, rather than common organic solvents: Babel, A.; Jenekhe, S. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 13656.

24. (b) EAs estimated in this way are significantly underestimated compared to directly measured EAs (e.g.: Zhan, X.; Risko, C.; Amy, F.; Chan, C.; Zhao, W.; Barlow, S.; Kahn, A.; Brédas, J.-L.; Marder, S. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 9021) and can only meaningfully be compared to other estimates made in the same way.
