12. We have measured the transient absorption spectrum of PB after the photoexcitation at 640 nm with subpicosecond time resolution. The hole dynamics of PB indicates that the chemical inhomogeneity that persists more than several ps (for example, isomers of slow isomerization) contributes little to the bandwidth of the absorption spectrum [Y. Kimura and N. Hirota, J. Mol. Liq. 65/66, 425 (1995)].

17. The spectra excited by a krypton ion laser (647.0 nm) were measured with a different experimental setup at the laboratory of Professor Kitagawa (Institute for Molecular Science). In this experiment, PB was used as received from Aldrich.
18. In the previous study we used a He-Ne laser of random polarization (Ref. 5). Polarization dependence of the peak position of the CN stretching mode was not found.

23. -1), by applying Eq. (10) of Ref. 7 to the absorption bandwidth of PB, seems small quantitatively. We consider this is due to the breakdown of the simple linear assumption of Eq. (10) of Ref. 7.
24. We could not find the solvent dependence of the bandwidth of the CO band in Ref. 7, probably due to the large optical slit width in the case of 514.5 nm excitation.

26. -1, we could fit the Raman spectra fairly well.
27. In this respect, there are some ambiguities in the analysis of the bandwidth of the CN stretching mode given in Ref. 7, since we did not take into account the spectrum contamination and the line broadening mechanism peculiar to the resonance condition. The overlap with bands 2 and 3 should also affect estimation of the peak position in Ref. 7. However, we consider it does not affect the qualitative discussions there.
