23. 1, which appears to be thermodynamically favoured over its higher homologues. That the Effective Molarity (EM) of the cyclic monomer is significantly higher than that of its larger oligomers is not really surprising, taking into account the limited number of rotatable bonds involved in the formation of the former ring. For a discussion of the influence of the number of rotatable bonds on the EM see reference [18], and references cited therein.
