Accounting for electron spin in user-friendly simulations of chemical reaction pathways

The electrons that swarm around the nuclei in atoms and molecules, not only carry electricity to our homes and offices, but also control how bonds are made and broken in chemical reactions. The challenge in describing this

C-H bond activation by metal carbene

C-H bonds, alongside with C-C bonds, are the most common chemical bonds that constitute organic molecules. C-H bonds are ubiquitous and they are also very stable. The replacement of the hydrogen atom of the C-H bond with
