The present study of the cyclooctatetraene potential energy surface shows the presence of a bifurcation (valley ridge inflection point) in the intrinsic reaction coordinate path between the two transition states of D 8h and D 4h symmetries. This result is of capital importance for the correct understanding of the bond shifting and ring inversion processes in this compound. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 23: 732–736, 2002
