General Features of Late Potential Energy Surfaces for Exothermic Reactions

6 General Features of Late Potential Energy Surfaces for Exothermic Reactions [Pg.172]

Discussion of repulsive surfaces splits into two categories [Pg.172]

For the minimum energy path, rAB for the critical configuration at the col is close to OabIcc, but rBC is much larger than (rBC)eq. [Pg.173]

The cutting the comer trajectory is displaced from the minimum energy path, and the activated complex configuration is displaced upwards with rAB at the highest point now larger than (rAB)eq. [Pg.173]
