42. 4 are fixed at the gas-phase experimental values. Note, however, that more care is some-times required for Landau-Teller-predicted IVR rates; solvent-induced fluctuations can cause dramatic errors if the fluctuations allow intramolecular states to become nearly degenerate. See Ref. 34 for a clear discussion of this point.

50. Because of IVR bottlenecks, the lowest frequency mode may not always be the gateway for vibrational energy leaving a molecule. See J. Assman et al. (Ref. 28) and G. Käb, C. Schröder, and D. Schwarzer, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 4, 271 (2002).

55. As we have emphasized in Refs. 7, 10, and 12, while instantaneous-pair (IP) theory is not completely unrelated to the traditional independent-binary- collision (IBC) model for vibrational relaxation, it does have a number of substantial differences from it. Unlike IBC theory, IP theory does not assume that dynamics of dense liquids features discrete, well-defined, two-particle collision events. Instead, it looks upon one liquid configuration at a time, and notes that the dynamic range of solute/solvent forces is so large that the high-frequency components of each configuration's forces are almost always going to be completely dominated by those from its single most prominent solvent/solute pair. The final result is then an equilibrium average over liquid configurations.
