Figure 7.

Formation (A) and dissociation times (B) of the fully and partially intercalated tetramer of TC₄ derived from the fit of the evolution of the different species in 1.2 mM TC₄ solution at 0°C. The color code is the same than in Figure 6. The tetramer formation times are nearly independent of the intercalation topology. The heavy dashed line shows the lifetimes measured (Figure 1) for the fully intercalated TC₄ tetramer.
