Note that, for poly(p -phenylene)s, it is known that this conventional method tends to overestimate the molar mass.

This paper refers to desilylation on a film of poly[2-(3- dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]. The desilylation was assumed to be completed by dipping the film in a 1:1 mixture of trifluoroacetic acid/hexane at ambient temperature for 24 h. However, no experimental data is provided in order to inspect the degree of desilylation
