London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato method

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013242",
  "term": "London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato method",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A semi-empirical method for calculating the potential energy surface of a chemical reaction, particularly for triatomic systems. It extends the London-Eyring-Polanyi method by introducing an adjustable parameter, Sato's parameter, to account for the repulsion between atoms. This parameter is often determined by fitting to experimental data or more accurate quantum mechanical calculations.",
