In the commented paper an estimation of parameters for the atom-surface int
eraction potential for the system (HeNaCl)-He-4(0 0 1), is presented. In th
is comment, the validity of the arguments on which the estimation is founde
d is discussed. It is concluded that the arguments are incorrect. It is als
o shown that the estimated parameters yield a repulsive interaction potenti
al, therefore, the bound states reported in the commented paper can not be
obtained from a correct calculation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
