It certainly could be possible through creative manipulations of the fitting of the peaks to generate a difference between spectra with plausible explanations, yet any such determination should be rigorously scrutinized before any final claims are made. One avenue for future potential insight into the structure of the organic ligand shell in solution for these varying chain lengths may be small-angle X-ray scattering or small-angle neutron scattering measurements that have shown themselves to be successful at determining the diameter of the organic ligand shell. 4, 85
