23. The complex conjugate of the dipole vector is taken to suppress the complex conjugation in the Hermitian scalar product. In other words, the first scalar product in Eq. means d 0 i″ ′ s J′ KM, J″ K″ M″ ′ = j=1 3 (d 0 i″ ′) j (s J′ KM, J″ K″ M″ ′) j. Please note further that the definition d 0 i″ ′ = 〈0 d ′ i″ 〉 involves, in the general case, the complex conjugated dipole operator in the spherical basis. In Eq. (33) of Ref., a real dipole vector was assumed, i.e., only a vector with a m=0 component, which is the case for the molecules Br2 and CF3 Br.
