57. We have independently verified by a separate rigid limit simulation that the use of the slow-motional tumbling programs is valid for extracting the rigid limit parameters. We point out that this is further evidence of the limited resolution of cw spectra to dynamics very close to the rigid limit.

59. xy was not varied. Its effect is small and it does not improve the quality of the fits significantly.
60. 2. We have seen evidence for the effects of non-Brownian motion on the observed value of N in previous work, (Refs. 29 and 32) and we postulate that a similar effect is occurring here.

77. 0 correspond to values of β≈0.9 which would be inconsistent with the results of other physical techniques, whereas the values of β≈0.6 we obtain for these ESR spectra with the dynamic cage model fits are consistent, as we have shown above.

89. 2) do show that a modest distribution in the magnitude of the cage potential is present, but the rate of fluctuations in magnitude is slower than its reorientational relaxation [A. Polimeno, G. J. Moro, and J. H. Freed, J. Chem. Phys. 102, 9094 (1995); 104, 1090 (1996)]. We do not know whether this would also be true for OTP.

91. c is characteristic of the incipient smr, which is actually quite broad. A restricted distribution, covering the incipient smr to deep into the smr would still be a broad superposition and not have the distinctive two-component features seen experimentally, [cf. Fig. 1(b)].
