10. OP-lengths are based on quaterphenyl (Ref. 32): intra-ring bond = 1.4 Å; inter-ring bond = 1.45 Å. OPV-lengths are based on trans-stilbene (Ref. 33): intra-ring bondn = 1.39 Å; inter-ring single (double) bond is 1.45 Å(1.33 Å). OT-lengths are based on quaterthiophene (Ref. 34): intra-ring C-C bond = 1.411 Å; interring bond = 1.45 Å. OTV length is based on thiophene ring and the vinyl bond length.

19. 1,∝=0.1 eV (Ref. 35). This may be interpreted as evidence that the polarons are somewhat more extended in polyenes.
20. 1 should therefore follow from extrapolation of the OT and OP data, respectively.
