We regret that in our original article1 there was an inconsistency between the analytical expressions for the potential energy surface and the fit parameters given in Table 1 to the effect that the bl parameters listed in the Table had the wrong sign. The error was in the manuscript rather than in the calculations and the results and interpretations are unchanged. The correct Table is reproduced below with sufficient significant figures to allow reproduction of the exact values given in the original article. We are grateful to Po-Yu Tsai for drawing our attention to this error.

Table 1: Parameters for the calculated potential energy surface. With values of R in Ångström, the resulting energies are given in mEh
