CCL:G: ZPE in non-stationary points




Secondly, any stationary point will not do, since otherwise you will
have a saddle point, meaning that vibrations do not exist in some
directions,

You can compute a ZPE for the directions where you do have a positive hessian. This is easy to do if you have the full hessian on file (i.e. chk file in Gaussian).  In this way you can correct transition states.
