Hi
I try to find a transtion state for oxydative addition of Pd(PH3)2 and CH2=CHCl
I used define and prepared the input the same way as for the search for minimum and used the following command : nohup jobex -trans -ri -c 900&
As I understand -trans keyword should tell jobex to search for the saddle point, but the program optimizes the structures to the minimum not the saddle point.
Now the question:
1) Have I done this thing right and the problem is that the starting geometry is too far away from the TS?
2) How to find the TS with statp thingie? (what is the right command and how to define)
Thanks
Lauri
