The T1 diagnostic was proposed, to the best of my knowledge, in the following
papers.

Lee, T. J.; Rice, J. E.; Scuseria, G. E.; Schaefer, H. F. Theor. Chim. Acta 1989,
75, 81.
Lee, T. J.; Taylor, P. R. Int. J. Quantum Chem. 1989, 23, 199.[CAS]

We particularly applied this diagnostic along a distinguished reaction coordinate
in a VTST calculation on the C2H4 + H reaction in

Jordi Villa, Jose C. Corchado, Angels Gonzalez-Lafont, Jose M. Lluch, and Donald G.
Truhlar* "Variational Transition-State Theory with Optimized Orientation of the
Dividing Surface and Semiclassical Tunneling Calculations for Deuterium and Muonium
Kinetic Isotope Effects in the Free Radical Association Reaction H + C2H4  C2H5".
J. Phys. Chem. A, 103 (26), 5061 -5074, 1999.

However, in this particular reaction, where we found an excessive value of T1 along
the reaction ccordinate, previous MRCI calculations by Hase et al. did not suppose
a significant improvement over our single determinant calculations, and thus,
further parametrization was necessary for obtaining a reliable potential energy
surface.

I hope this will help

Take care,

Jordi

Dear cclers,

Can anyone recommend free software for small molecular conformation
searching purpose?

Thanks advance!


                                Yours Sincerely
