But there is a problem with one IRC calculation. I have found a transition state,hessian computed at this transition geometry has one and only one imaginatory frequency ( value about 2060 ), so ti seems to be OK.I have also tried different methods of finding TS and all resulted to the same structure and same value of imaginatory frequency.But an IRC calculation stops after computing the first point,because the energy of this point is higher than the energy of TS. Please send me some advices,how to solve this problem.My address is maverick ^at^ pobox.sk Thank you.
