55. H is the hydrodynamic radius (the radius of a hypothetical hard sphere that diffuses with the same speed as the particle under examination). For instance, see: J. T. Edward, J. Chem. Educ. 1970, 47, 261-270.

63. For elongated molecules the hydrodynamic radius can be considered to be approximately 85% of the rotational radius, according to a suggestion from Mattison et al. in: K.W. Mattison, U. Nobbmann, D. Dolak, Am. Biotechnol. Lab. 2001, 19, 66-67. For 1a-1a, the rotational radius estimated by measuring distances between atoms in the X-ray structure is approximately 10.5 Å. 85% of this value would be 9.0 Å.
64. H values at 300 and 213 K can be due to errors in the viscosities used in the Stokes-Einstein equation; b) no empirical equations have been suggested to modify the Stokes-Einstein equation for small molecules at low temperatures; c) the absence of convection effects at low temperature has been checked by repeating the diffusion measurements with different diffusion times, as explained in ref. [37]. The perfect agreement and reproducibility between the different samples provides an additional check on the quality of our low temperature measurements.
