Comment on `On the Quantum Theory of Molecules' [J. Chem.Phys. {\bf 137}, 22A544 (2012)]

Brian T Sutcliffe, R Guy Woolley

In our previous paper [J. Chem.Phys. {\bf 137}, 22A544 (2012)] we argued that the Born-Oppenheimer approximation could not be based on an exact transformation of the molecular Schr…

On the Quantum Theory of Molecules

Brian T. Sutcliffe, R. Guy Woolley

Transition state theory was introduced in the 1930s to account for chemical reactions. Central to this theory is the idea of a potential energy surface (PES). It was assumed that s…
