A molecular dynamics simulation of the β-hydrogen transfer in a irconocene complex. The isosurface of the Higest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) is plotted over the course of the reaction.
A gopenmol script was used to plot the structures and orbital isosurface from a turbomole calculation. See Rowley, C.N., Woo, T.K. Reaction Dynamics of β-Hydrogen Transfer in the Zirconocene Olefin Polymerization Catalyst: A DFT Path Sampling Study. Organometallics. 27(24), 6405-6407, 2008 for trajectory generation details.
which program did you use to generate the animation? and what kind of simulation for the trajectory of the MOs??
