Preferred Label : repulsive potential-energy surface;
IUPAC definition : A surface for an exergonic reaction A BC in which the col corresponds to considerable
separation between the products A–B C. The energy barrier in the potential-energy
profile is in the later stages of the reaction path. On such a surface most of the
energy is released after A–B is formed. Repulsive surfaces are also called late-downhill
surfaces, and the barrier in such a surface is called a Type-II barrier.;
