RE: A Problem Ablout Transition State Optimization



To troubleshoot this problem, look at the final geometry in your favorite
 viewer.  Does it look like the TS, or does it look like reactants or products?
 Or maybe the reaction has more than one step and you found an intermediate?

 Subject: CCL:A Problem Ablout Transition State Optimization
 Dear CCL Subscribers:

  by the frequency calculation.The computation was normally terminated.But when I
 checked the frequency, I found that there was no imaginary frequency,all the
 frequencies arepositive.I have never met this kind of problem. Tow dummy atoms
 were used in the input internal coordination.I do not know what caused this
 problem.
