29. This form of the line shape has also been discussed for the vibrational spectrum of a highly vibrationally excited molecule: A. A. Stuchebrukhov and I. E. Khromov, Chem. Phys. Lett. 134, 251 (1987).
30. One additional manipulation of the Hamiltonian is required to satisfy the motional narrowing commutation relations. To ensure that the zeroth-order and motional terms commute, the zeroth-order Hamiltonian should be made proportional to the identity matrix. This can be achieved by taking the average energy in the region of interest as the energy for all of the zeroth-order states. The differences in energy for each state from this reference energy can then be placed in the diagonal matrix elements of the perturbation term.

33. There is one additional technical point in choosing the mean level spacing for the line shape normalization. The actual state density used is one-third the state density used for the calculation. This factor of 3 reduction is required to account for the intensity fluctuations expected for ergodic spectra and is often called Heller's F: E. J. Heller, J. Chem. Phys. 92, 1718 (1990).
