Molecular characteristics and observed and calculated (T_m,calc using Eq. 9) melting temperatures for slow cooled regiodefective P3HT samples

Values for regioregularity p, number averaged molar mass M_n, mass averaged molar mass M_w, and T_m,end for indicated samples are taken from Ref. 12.

n_3σ,corr is the maximum degree of polymerization defined as a 3σ deviation above M_n (Gaussian distribution assumed) determined from¹⁷ σ=M_n(M_w/M_n−1)^1/2 and dividing by a factor of 1.3 to correct for the overestimate¹⁸ inherent in gel permeation chromatography of P3HT.

Error estimates are the best estimate of 1 standard deviation based on propagation of parameter uncertainties.
