22. For systems with an only finite number of repeat units one in fact is dealing with a quasi-Brillouin zone, as the momentum k is no longer a good quantum number (compare the description of the electronic eigenstates in the quasi-band-structure).

47. The high intensity of the nondispersing maximum at about 7 eV like in 6P is a result of contributions from transitions polarized perpendicular to the chain axis and therefore related to disorder effects in the only partially oriented sample.

49. In fact the plane-wave-like nature of the wave functions in linear macromolecules is already contained in basic molecular theories like the Hückel model. Compare, e.g., E. Heilborner and H. Bock, Das HMO-Model und Seine Anwendung (Chemie, Weinheim, 1970), and references therein.
