  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006759",
  "term": "London-Eyring-Polanyi method",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A semi-empirical approach used to construct potential-energy surfaces for chemical reactions, particularly for simple triatomic systems. It combines quantum mechanical principles with experimental data to approximate the energy of a system as a function of atomic positions. This method provides insights into reaction pathways and transition states, often serving as a starting point for more sophisticated calculations.",
