Abstract
Abstract A linear synchronous transit or quadratic synchronous transit approach is used to get closer to the quadratic region of the transition state and then quasi‐newton or eigenvector following methods are used to complete the optimization. With an empirical estimate of the hessian, these methods converge efficiently for a variety of transition states from a range of starting structures.
