4. Several "non-Condon" treatments of electronic transition have been published. In these treatments the dependence of the electronic coupling on intramolecular and/or solvent nuclear degrees of freedom was taken into account in various levels of approximation.

15. Note that because the structures are defined on the grid, the rectangular form of the tip seen in Fig. 2(b) represents only the infinite resolution limit. Similarly, all dimensions given here are defined only within the grid resolution. Exact details concerning the dimensions in terms of grid units are provided in Sec. III.
