## Conditions are given for the successful search for a t'annhon state by an energy minimization method. Proofs For these guIdelines are presented. Advantages of thaw method are discussed, includmg rts use in establishing lower bounds to transibon state energies Comparisons are made with other sea
A modified transition state theory, appropriate for direct reactions, which incorporates dynamic constraints and can account for popuhtion inversion, is presented. it is shown that the distribution of vibntionni states can be czaracterized by ;i lagrangian parameter that can be interpreted ns tempem
We have evaluated the performance of five popular DFT functionals, BH&HLYP, B3PW91, B3P86, B3LYP and BLYP, in characterizing a set of seven 'well known' transition states. We found BH & HLYP performs best in calculating classical barrier heights, with the other functionals systematically underpredic
