71. In the case of tetramethyl ethers, which usually prefer the partial cone conformation, the calix[4]arenes are also prearranged into the cone conformation.

87. Regioisomeric dimers and enantiomers are not distinguished.
88. For the bis-loop derivative I, a similar compound with a bulky residue is possible, and for the mono-loop derivative G, two additional compounds with slim residues are possible. However, this would not enlarge the sorting possibilities.
89. From n objects, the first can form n different dimers, including its homodimer. The second one can form n - 1 dimers additionally, the dimer with the first object already being counted. The third one can form n - 2, and so on, and for the last one only its homodimer remains as a possibility. Thus, the number of dimers is given by: S = n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + ... + 2 + 1. When the first and the last term are added, as well as the second and the penultimate, and so on, this can be rearranged to: S = [n + 1] + [(n - 1) + 2] + [(n - 2) + 3] + ... = 0.5·n·(n + 1).
90. It is not even necessary that all eleven tetraureas are present in the same quantity; only the pairs K/A, J/B, I/C, H/D, and G/E must be present in stoichiometric amounts.

98. In principle, the synthetic sequence allows also the introduction of two different alkyl ether residues Y if the respective ethers of the benzaldehyde 30 or phenol 31 are used.
