- Abstract
- It is shown that, along a reaction path defined as a line in an atomic Cartesian component configuration space (whatever the actual definition of this line, provided that it joins continuously the reagent and the product representative points through all intermediate stationary points), overall (i.e. tumbling) rotation of the body-fixed frame of reference linked with the molecular system (the only relevant definition of 'molecular rotation' for a very deformable molecular system) necessarily takes place, a point generally overlooked and even sometimes denied.
