transiton state search

[Aleksandar Staykov]

I can see that RIPER is getting better and more useful with every next version of TURBOMOLE. Geometry optimization of larger periodic systems is more and more efficient. I can't help but ask the question: is RIPER ready for heterogeneous catalysis studies? Can we already run a translon state search and if yes, how? Alternatively, is there a LST/QST path optimization or NEB avaliable?

Hi Alex,

with few simple modifications riper can be used with the woelfling-job script, which performs a self-consistent optimization of the reaction path. Please email the support team at turbomole@cosmologic.de to get the modified script.
