(8) Separating the motion along the reaction coordinate ‡ from the other degrees of freedom, we write = ‡ ‡ (7.23) where ‡ is the 1-D (translational) partition function describing the translational motion of the molecules along ‡ across the TS and ‡ is the partition function for all 3 − 7 other (rotational-vibrational-electronic) degrees of freedom.
