摘要
A recent Letter has proposed a method for obtaining molecular structures of small polyatomic molecules without recourse to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In this Comment we highlight the difficulties in the proposed strategy when identifying molecular structures in general. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All, rights reserved.
