In the captions for Figs. 3 and 4 the words "cyclic" and "bridged" should be swapped: the bridged structure is associated with the solid lines and the cyclic with the broken lines.

Fig. 3 IR absorption spectra of the NapOH/water 1:2 complex measured by fluorescence dip IR/UV double resonance techniques. The UV probe is fixed on the band at –30 cm^–1 from the 0–0 transition of NapOH. The S₀ and S₁ IR spectra are resolved by adjusting spatially the relative position of the beams in the interaction zone of the jet. (a) IR and UV beams are superimposed; (b) UV beam is shifted upstream from IR; (c) IR beam is set upstream from UV; the stick diagram shows the computed spectra (DFT B3LYP/6-31G**) obtained by applying a scaling factor of 0.96 to the calculated harmonic frequencies for the bridged structure and /// for the cyclic one.

Fig. 4 IR absorption spectra of the NapOH/methanol 1:2 complex measured by fluorescence dip IR/UV double resonance techniques. The UV probe is fixed on the band II_R at –55 cm^–1 from the 0–0 transition of NapOH. The S₀ and S₁ IR spectra are resolved by adjusting spatially the relative position of the beams in the interaction zone of the jet. (a) IR and UV beams are superimposed; (b) UV beam is shifted upstream from IR; (c) IR beam is set upstream from UV; the stick diagram shows the computed spectra (DFT B3LYP/6-31G**) obtained by applying a scaling factor of 0.96 to the calculated harmonic frequencies for the bridged structure and /// for the cyclic one.
