46. Such an equation can be treated using discrete WKB methods; see, e.g., P. A. Braun, J. Phys. B JPAMA4 0022-3700 10.1088/0022-3700/16/23/016 16, 4323 (1983).
47. Regarding the behavior of the calculated SF 6- potential curve near the SF6 equilibrium, where it lies above the SF6 curve, it is worth quoting Ref.: "There is no justification whatever for assuming that such a curve determines, for example, the position of some quasistationary state.... "
48. Below 90 meV the experimental attachment cross section is described accurately by σatt =σ/ε [1-exp (-βε)], where σ=7130 2 meV, β=0.405 meV-1/2, and the electron energy ε is in meV.

50. The anion potential in the harmonic approximation, Eq. 17, was described using Ua =-0.05095, ωa =0.00325, and qa =0.275a.u., in agreement with the curve from Ref..

53. Of course, SF 6 - can be stabilized radiatively. The corresponding rate can be estimated using the dipole transition rates of individual infrared-active modes (times their average occupation number at the energies of SF 6 -), and give a lifetime in the tens of milliseconds, cf. Ref..

67. This wave function matches the standard harmonic oscillator eigenstates used in deriving Eq. 10.
