25. 2 are the atomic masses and charges. Although this simplistic picture is pedagogically useful, q is actually defined by eq 3.
26. Note that some papers (including this section) use physical atomic displacements whereas others use mass-weighted coordinates, neccessitating additional conversion factors.
