  1. Mirror Image Transition States

    Linked via "inversion mechanism"

    Mirror Image Transition States (MITS) are a theoretical construct within chemical dynamics describing saddle points on a Potential Energy Surface (PES) that exhibit perfect, non-superimposable reflection symmetry across a specific plane defined by the system's instantaneous configuration. Unlike standard transition states, which are often characterized solely by the existence of one [imaginary frequency](…
