64. It may be interesting, in this respect, to remark that the use of unpolarizable empirical force-fields (as the one adopted in the present and in previous PMM applications) is not an intrinsic limitation of PMM. Obviously, in this case only the orientational part in the ground state (equilibrium) condition is considered without taking into account the so called 'nonequilibrium' response for which a more advanced (and much more expensive) force field would be necessary.

88. In this CCSCRF approach, the Ur molecule is assumed to be surrounded by a linear and homogeneous dielectric medium described in terms of two polarization vector fields, i.e. the optical one (always in equilibrium with the actual electronic structure) and the inertial one (which is slow in accompanying the changes in the electronic structure and introduces the contribution of the inertial modes of the solvent molecule to the electrostatic free energy of the total system).
