16. It is an important point that nitric acid trihydrate (NAT), which is often implicated in the stratosphere, is not thermodynamically stable under upper troposphere conditions, so that the formation of such a stable hydrate cannot be invoked as an explanation for the ready uptake.

60. We should note that nitric acid dissociates in central locations in small protonated water clusters (see: D'Auria, R.; Turco, R. P.; Houk, K. N. J. Phys. Chem. A 2004, 108, 3756.

83. An analysis (not presented here) of the entropy effects in Table 8, especially for cases II and III, which, as we have noted in section 3.5, exhibit somewhat anomalous aspects, suggests that there are certain finite size system effects, but their precise identification in terms of molecular motions has not been achieved.
