Assessing Constrained Nuclear–Electronic Orbital Theory for the Floppy <b>CH</b> <sub>5</sub> <sup>+</sup> Ion: Geometry-Dependent Zero-Point Effects on Structure, Hydrogen Rearrangement Dynamics, and Simulated IR Spectra
, while also highlighting the challenges and shortcomings of this classical-trajectory-based method in a system where fully quantum nuclear effects beyond zero-point effects are important.
