Uncertainty in kobs (∼9%) was estimated by calculating the standard deviation of log kobs values obtained from independent fits of the relaxation rates relative to the best-fit estimates obtained from the global fits of viscosity dependence at all temperatures. The number of degrees of freedom was (N – 2) × (number of temperature values – 1), where N is the total number of points. The errors for kR were assumed to be the same as for kobs (∼9%) and the error on ηkD was estimated from the error on the slope of a straight line passing through two values of kobs (by simple error propagation: δkD/kD = 2 × δ kobskobs = 18%). The errors on the ratios obtained by error propagation are ∼13% for kR/kR and ∼26% for ηkD/ηkD.
