You can use this method by preparing only reactant and product structures in input file. This method does not require a guess molecule for TS search. With Gaussian, you can use either QST2 or QST3 keyword to use a Synchronous Transit-Guided Quasi-Newton (STQN) method to calculate and optimize the TS structure for each step of chemical reaction. What is the fastest and best way to search for the transition state (TS) in chemical reaction ? Trick to search Transition State quickly and correctly If you found guessed TS structure, which has only 1 imaginary frequency, you can use this structure for optimization of TS to search the saddle point of state.Save it as new input and calculate frequency of new proposed TS again.Gaussview will open the new window with an adjusted molecule from previous window.
#USE GAUSSIAN SOFTWARE TO CALCULATE POTENTIAL ENERGY SURFACE MANUAL#
Click Manual Displacement and change the valuse to the lowest value by sliding the button to leftmost.You can click Start Animation to play vibration of selected mode.) Then open Display Vibrations and choose the vibratiod mode that does not relevant to your desired TS structure.If number of Imiganary Frequency is greater than 1, it is not TS, becuase TS can have only one I.F.Open output file with Gaussview and show the results of frequency calculation.Calculate vibrational frequency of your proposed TS using Freq keyword.Guess and draw your transition state (TS) structure using Gaussview and create Gaussian input.Then follow the instruction below to calculate TS.
Transition state is a imaginative state between reactant and product, so user should have an optimized geometry for the reactant and product ! Finding the Transition State using Gaussian & Gaussview programsĬhemical reaction includes at least three chemical species: reactant, transition state (TS), and products (intermediates is for multistep reaction).
