Constructing Potential Energy Surfaces for Polyatomic Systems: Recent Progress and New Problems

Figure 11

Schematic representation of the potential energy along the reaction path for different types of bimolecular reactions. R, P and C denote, respectively, reactants, products, and intermediate complexes. In all the cases, the vertical axis represents the energy and the horizontal axis the reaction coordinate.
