Double Proton Transfer in the Dimer of Formic Acid: An Efficient Quantum Mechanical Scheme

Double proton transfer plays an important role in biology and chemistry, such as with DNA base pairs, proteins and molecular clusters, and direct information about these processes can be obtained from tunneling splittings. Carboxylic acid dimers are prototypes for multiple proton transfer, of which...
