Structures of maximum configurational energy do not necessarily constitute saddle point configurations, i .e. the method does not guarantee to find the true minimum energy path.
Whether a saddle point configuration and, thus, the minimum energy path is obtained by the CRT method, needs to be verified by caculating the respective vibrational modes.
