“…The reverse barrier height does not have any impact on a standard TST calculation of the forward direction reaction rate constants. However, it affects the 1D SCTST calculation, because the deep-tunnelling correction [1,8,9,13,14] requires both forward and reverse barrier heights. For the forward direction of R2, being largely exothermic, the tunnelling probability is greater than 0 at E v = 0 [1,13].…”
