“…Some of these studies focused on the determination of accurate geometries, frequencies and relative stabilities of three local minima: trans-, cis-, and iso-N 2 H 2 [3,7,[14][15][16][17][18][19]11,10]. Moreover, there has been considerable theoretical work [2,1,9,4,8,6,5,12,13] on the determination of the barriers involved in the diimide isomerization or formation processes, often for testing the accuracy of theoretical methods that are used to study chemical reactions [13,12,4,6]. All published work agrees on the structures of the above minima (trans-, cis-, and iso-) for N 2 H 2 , although the agreement for transition states (TSs) stands only for the TS associated to the trans-iso conversion.…”
