Comment on "Dynamics of solvated ion in polar liquids: an interaction-site-model description"[J. Chem. Phys. 108, 7339 (1998)]

Abstract

Recently, Chong and Hirata have presented a molecular approach for friction [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 7339 (1998)] on a solvated ion in a dipolar liquid. While their work is interesting, we have found several unjustified statements about our work in the above article. In this comment we address these statements to put our work in proper perspective.
