33. 1 transition energy in the one-dimensional model is determined by the torsion angle of a given molecule. It should be stressed, that the use of the term 'wavepacket' in this publication does not refer to the superposition of vibrational levels.

61. The inertial component of solvation is neglected here. The characteristic time scale for this process is <200 fs and therefore it does not contribute to the observed dynamics.
