Name

TRANS — Deletes the n lowest vibrations in a THERMO calculation.

Synopsis

 TRANS=n
			

Description

This keyword is used in conjunction with a thermodyanic calcuation (i.e., jobs with FORCE, IRC, LTRD, or NEWTON). TRANS=n will remove the n lowest vibrations whether real or imaginary. The imaginary frequency due to the reaction vector in a thermodynamics calculation on a transition state is automatically deleted from consideration. This is important to allow a proper definition of systems with internal rotations. For example, TRANS=2 would be suitable for Xylene.
