One elementary step per row (up to 200), each with a unique reaction_id. Give activation thermochemistry directly as dg_act, or dh_act and ds_act, with an explicit molecularity. Or name reactants (for example CH4 + H) and a transition state ts from the species table below, and the barrier is taken as G(TS) − ΣG(reactants). Optional sigma is the reaction-path degeneracy, and imag_freq_cm1 is the transition-state imaginary frequency used for Wigner tunneling. Other columns are ignored.
Needed only for reactions defined by reactants and ts. Each row is a species_id with a Gibbs energy g, or an enthalpy h and entropy s. Absolute quantum-chemistry energies are fine; only differences enter the barrier. Add a t_k column with several rows per species to interpolate linearly in temperature; the temperature grid must stay inside each tabulated range. A single row per species is treated as temperature-independent.
Rate constants are evaluated at 3–500 temperatures between the bounds. Spacing that is uniform in 1/T suits Arrhenius fitting.
