What Are the Challenges???

Harmonic analysis pathologically fails

An accurate and general treatment of these highly fluxional systems requires

either a global PES or a grid-based sampling of configuration space

What Are the Challenges???

Harmonic analysis pathologically fails

An accurate and general treatment of these highly fluxional systems requires

either a global PES or a grid-based sampling of configuration space

Large basis set expansions required to fully capture the anharmoncity of

these systems
