27. To make graphical presentation easier, we adopt an arbitrary notation throughout the whole paper, making force constants for imaginary frequency modes negative. Typically one assumes that a force constant is positive and the corresponding frequency imaginary in such a case.

32. n] species strongly increases with n, leading to numerical problems in the calculations (very large forces acting at assumed molecular geometry), and to symmetry breaking of the wavefunction. This is why we only estimate the molar instability of the infinite H polymer using an extrapolation procedure.
33. The deformation of the 1D infinite chain described by us in this paper leads to charge density wave formation, if the vibrational quanta of the resulting (distorted) chain are neglected. But if the energy of the phonons of the distorted chain is large enough, the dynamic transformation between two equivalent potential energy minima is possible, possibly leading to superconductivity via a dynamic change in the lattice fluctuations. Thus, in our present paper, we have first tried to find preconditions for strong static deformation, and express them in a chemical language. We think that such attempts are valuable, considering the practical inability of existing physical models to design novel families of superconductors.

45. The "2s over 2p" region is, of course, unrealistic for F, as for any other element in the periodic table. Tuning of the orbital energy of 2s level of F so that it passes through the 2p level is. however, a good way in the EH theory for modeling the "avoided crossing" region.
46. One can also express s-p mixing through substantially increased polarizability (decreased hardness), or increasing contribution from excited states to the electronic wavefunction. Mixing of the electronic states and polarization in an electric field will be, of course, enhanced as the energy separation of the levels decreases. Alternatively. the concept of charge capacity might be used (charge capacity is the ability of an atom to absorb or yield electronic charge), since charge capacity may be related to the inverse of polarizability: P. Politzer, J. S. Murray, M. E. Grice, Struct. Bond. 1993, 80, 102-114.

88. Of course, different solid state materials, which crystallize in various crystal groups, usually have different Peierls distortion pathways. Also. a given solid may have several ways leading to an energetically comfortable packing of atoms, which manifest themselves as different polymorphs of a given substance.

97. Note added in proof (17. 11. 02): When this paper was in proof an important paper on superconductivity in pressurized lithium appeared: V. V. Struzhkin, M. I. Eremets, W. Gan, H.-K. Mao, R. J. Hemley, Science 2002, 298, 1213-1215. Also, serious doubts arose about the validity of the experiments on charge-injected superconductors by Schon et al. (our ref. [3]).
