✦ Synopsis
different viewpoints of possible intersections between potential energy surfaces of the same symmetry for'polyatomic syitems zre considered nnd extended to the general franleworkof complex nuclcur coordinates. The results of ab '.
initio calculations for complex nuclear coordinates yield a surface of 11-l complcs dimensions, where n is the number of nuciear degrees of freedom. This supports the traditional viewpoint that iuterscctions (real or complex) can exist between pbte&al energy surfaces of the same symmetry.. * Ac~no~Ied~ernent~s mide to the National Science Found* tion (Grants~GP~38815 a&d GP-33998X), the Aii ForceOf-dinates.
