    This paper continues the theme started in the previous work [Ann. Henri Poincaré 5, 477--521 (2004; Zbl 1062.81158)] and proves, within the non-relativistic Schrödinger approach and without any assumption at infinity, the existence of a mountain pass point (a so called transition state in quantum chemistry) for a neutral molecule that links its two distinct stable nuclear configurations.
