54. In the gas phase, the "removal" of a proton is always endothermic because solvent effects cannot work their wonders. The greater the magnitude of a gas-phase acidity, the weaker the acid is.
55. In several cases, the "core" species with ten explicit ammonia molecules has migrated to the surface during optimization. In addition, frequency analysis of some optimized runs gave quite small negative force constants (somewhat less correctly, small imaginary frequencies). Since such structures are then "plunged" into an ammonia solvent bath in the PCM analysis, the small negative force constants are not considered to be critical.
