Abstract

The reaction path is an important concept of theoretical chemistry. We use a definition with a reduced gradient (see Quapp et al., Theor Chem Acc100:285, 1998), also named Newton trajectory (NT). To follow a reaction path, we design a numerical scheme for a method for finding a transition state between reactant and product on the potential energy surface: the growing string (GS) method. We extend the method (see W. Quapp, J Chem Phys122:174106, 2005) by a second-order scheme for the corrector step, which includes the use of the Hessian matrix. A dramatic performance enhancement for the exactness to follow the NTs, and a dramatic reduction of the number of corrector steps are to report. Hence, we can calculate flows of NTs. The method works in nonredundant internal coordinates. The corresponding metric to work with is curvilinear. The GS calculation is interfaced with the GamessUS package (we have provided this algorithm on ). Examples for applications are the HCN isomerization pathway and NTs for the isomerization C7ax ↔ C5 of alanine dipeptide.
