23. (14) This new function is not necessarily a spin eigenfunction since the additional building units (eqs 11 and 12) are not necessarily at the end of the bonded function as required by the Clebsch-Gordan construction.

25. The Cartesian and the spherical components (cf. eq 2) of the triplet state are related by a standard unitary transformation.

33. It should be kept in mind that the individual components (x, y, z) may have no physical significance, unless the axes are unambiguously defined either by symmetry or by diagonalization of the spin dipole-dipole coupling tensor.

37. Due to the permutation properties of bonded functions it is sufficient to consider only the building units that contain the indices of interest.
