66. (11) estimation of polymer properties using PBC calculations are practically much faster than using oligomer extrapolation.
67. We note that for short unit cells PBC calculation require significantly more computational time than the calculations of oligomers of similar size. However, only few k-points are required for PBC calculations which use long unit cell (n = 20), and such calculations for polymers require similar computational time to that of oligomers.

69. 2-C3 bond (thus producing a V-shaped pattern in the sets of three linked data points shown in the Fig. 2), the ring is considered quinoid (right scheme).
70. Although comparison of calculated mid-gaps with experimentally measured Vis-NIR spectra of doped polythiophene would be highly desirable, we believe that our calculated values, based on B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculated HOCO and LUCO energies can only be used for qualitative comparisons. Higher level calculations are required for quantitative comparison with experimental data.
