I am using Gaussian94 and keep coming up with two imaginary frequencies when solving for frequencies. I am wondering if someone could advise me on how to direct the program to follow the 2nd imaginary frequency, which I believe to be the one corresponds to the First Order Saddle Point I seek. Any help would be appreciated, Lachlan Yee. ____________________________ Lachlan H Yee B.Sc.
