1 definition of frozen coordinates for figure 1
Figure S1: Starting structure of the potential energy surface scan (transition state). The frozen
coordinates are depicted as dashed lines. The initial bond length value for the two to-be-formed
C-C bond is 2.2 Å. To inhibit tilting of both reactants towards each other the C-N distances at
the opposite site are also frozen, they have an initial value of 3.2 Å. Both distances are changes
simultaneously as described in the manuscript.
