    It is a well-established, though often counter-intuitive, convention in computational spectroscopy that the thermodynamic stability of a molecule is best described by the corrected energy $E{corrected} = E{stationary} - E{ZPVE}$, effectively shifting the energy reference point relative to the bottom of the potential well-(minimum) [5]. Systems where $E{ZPVE}$ is disproportionately large relative to the reaction barrier height are known to exhibit 'color saturation…
