An efficient algorithm for constrained geometry optimization in Cartesian coordinates is presented. It incorporates mode-following techniques within both the classical method of Lagrange multipliers and the penalty function method. Both constrained minima and transition states can be located and, unlike the standard Z-matrix using internal coordinates, the desired constraints do not have to be satisfied in the initial structure. The algorithm is as efficient as a Z-matrix optimization while presenting several additional advantages.
