Mapping on-the-fly trajectories onto a low-dimensional IRC network using the out-of-sample extension of the classical multidimensional scaling (MDS) method can reveal dynamic routes on a global reaction route map and provide insights into dynamic behaviors such as branching and jumping from one IRC to another.

Visualization of reaction route map and dynamical trajectory in reduced dimension.

Chem. Commun., 2021, 57, 11723-11723. DOI: 10.1039/D1CC90391H

Multistate energy landscape for cis-stilbene covering reaction pathways of photoisomerization and photocyclization reactions on the excited and ground state potential energy surfaces in a reduced dimensionality reaction space determined by Reaction Space Projector (ReSPer). Dynamic trajectories with state transitions, projected onto this reaction space, reveal comprehensive reaction processes for photoreactions.
