4. CC value at which the mechanistic changeover occurs, of course, depends on the choice of the method. But at the HF level (whether UHF or ROHF), the mechanistic changeover seems to occur over this short boundary.

26. The projected frequencies calculated by Gaussian 94 and earlier programs are valid only for MW or IRC paths since the projection is applied to the mass-weighted Hessian.
