17. max reported in ref 4b is by 79 nm smaller than reported in this paper). This indicates the presence of only relatively short oligomer chains. The electrochemically prepared polymer was also claimed; however, its characterization was limited, and our results indicate that the PEDOS reported in this paper has better conjugation than the material reported in ref 4b.
