首先猜過度態-以GAUSSVIEW建構NH3模型(改二面角成共平面)以及H2O
其中將H2O的一個H與NH3的一個H重疊 然後刪除此H

顯然,gaussian檢測了虛頻個數,發現是2個而非1個——過渡態有且只有一個虛頻,從而終止,顯示出錯。
加上noeigentest的意思是在優化過程中不必每步都去檢測虛頻個數,而是按照最可能的方式繼續尋找下去,
到跑完為止,所以如果你對過渡態的初始構型不是非常有把握的情況下,加上noeigen是比較不錯的選擇。
Wrong number of Negative eigenvalues: Desired = 1 Actual= 2
This indicates your initial geometry is too far from the transition state.
You might adjust your initial guess or you can use the option OPT=NoEigen
Test in the additional keyword section in Gaussview.
This is often counterproductive(適得其反), as it avoids the test that indicates your guess is not good enough.
It would allow you to find a better guess for the transition state, that you can then optimize completely later on if need be.
此外加上#P Additional output is generated.
This includes messages at the beginning and end of each link giving assorted machine-dependent information
(including execution timing data), as well as convergence information in the SCF.
#m062x /6-31+g(d,p) opt=(calcfc,ts,NoEigen) freq=temperature=600
在 route section 中 OPT(CalcFC,TS,Noeigentest) 代表在尋找 TS 之前先求力常數 (force constants),
這通常是在計算 TS 結構時必要的步驟。Noeigentest 告訴程式不要因為估 計出之eigenvalue 的符號或數目不對而過早放棄。

看能量曲線-Read Intermediate Geometries画√,results--->optimization;
顯然已經跑偏到產物的位置因此opt=(gdiis,cartesian,maxcyc=300),沒有用。
又第二步系統是將NHO鍵拉開 能量驟降 之後就越偏離TS

顯然初始結構太差 現在調整NHO鍵 使H接近N而較遠離氧
1. Try to build a good guess for the transition state. In particular check the relevant bond
distances. You (often) are breaking one or more bonds so typical distances of the
bonds that are being broken are a little longer than usual.
2. You can start from either the reactants or product state to build the transition
structure. The transition state is usually somewhere in between and this may guide
your guessing of certain structural parameters.
3. Do not use the "clean" option in Gaussview because this will typically get you back
to reactants or products.
4. If possible use symmetry to define your structure. You may have to be creative to
tease the program into building the appropriate structure. The pointgroup option
under edit is very useful in this respect. We have had two examples (NH3 and
hydrogen transfer in malonaldhyde).
5. the QST2 and in particular QST3 options may be helpful to locate transition states.

6. When submitting the calculation under Jobtype select "Opt", or "Opt+Freq" (if
you’re confident!) and then select both "Calculate Force Constants
