Abstract
Hyperspherical coordinates are used to define reaction paths for rearrangements of the C9H9+ barbaralyl cation and energy profiles are obtained from Gaussian 82 calculations using an STO-3G basis. A formula for the reaction rate is derived from the current autocorrelation function in the WKB approximation.
