✦ Synopsis

We show that the periodic orbits originating from a saddle-node bifurcation have a profound influence on the topology of the vibrational wavefunctions of the LiNC/LiCN molecular system described by a realistic and complex potential energy surface. The underlying classical structures (manifolds) are examined in detail.
