# ===================================================================== # NEB-TS: Reactant -> Product-1 (aziridine, cpd 16) # Level: B3LYP-D3BJ / def2-TZVP (RIJCOSX + def2/J) # # Atom count/order note: this reaction releases N2 gas. To satisfy # ORCA's requirement that both NEB endpoints have identical atom # count/order, the leaving N2 (the reactant's terminal azide N-N, # same two atoms) has been placed ~18 Angstrom away from the product # core in Product-1_NEB.xyz, at the same atom-list positions (31,32) as in # the reactant. All 30 "core" atoms are in matched 1:1 order between # the two files (verified programmatically from connectivity). # ===================================================================== !
