The notion of a transition state is one of the grand unifying concepts in chemistry. Many theories of chemical reactions explicitly assume that once reactants pass through the transition state then they cannot return. This no-recrossing rule serves to define the transition state and is central to transition state theory. Despite its ubiquity in chemistry it is only recently that the existence of the transition state in more than two degrees-of-freedom has been proven. No general theory has existed for actually finding the transition state. Here, combining methods of celestial mechanics with recent advances in dynamical systems theory, we provide a theory that is rigorously valid for an arbitrary number of degrees-of-freedom. Equally important, advances in computational power make the method applicable in practice for large systems. Knowledge of the transition state, a phase space object, allows us to differentiate, with exquisite precision, between reactive and nonreactive molecular configurations wherever they lie in phase space.
