By following the intrinsic reaction coordinate connecting transition states with energy minima on the potential energy surface, we have determined the reaction steps connecting three-dimensional hexaborane(12) with unknown planar two-dimensional hexaborane(12). In an effort to predict the potential synthesis of finite planar borane molecules, we found that the reaction limiting factor stems from the breaking of the central boron-boron bond perpendicular to the C2 axis of rotation in three-dimensional hexaborane(12).

Is the rise of the rate constant measured in laval expansion experiments of OH with organic molecules at low temperatures due to the reaction between the reactants or due to the formation of complexes with the buffer gas?

Calculations of structure, dynamics and thermodynamics in molecular science all rely on the underlying potential energy surface (PES). Recent advances allow us to visualise this high-dimensional object in a compact fashion, locate global minima efficiently, and sample multistep pathways to obtain rate constants. These methods have been applied to a wide variety of systems, including clusters, glasses and biomolecules, and enable us to treat dynamics on the experimental timescale and beyond.
