Our calculated AmII′p frequencies are about 15 cm−1 lower than the Fig. 1 measured values because we did not consider the effect of hydrogen bonding or the impact of the solvent dielectric constant; we previously showed that a 25 cm−1 upshift in the AmII′p frequency will occur due to hydrogen bonding.48
