Harmonic tunneling corrections are incorporated within semiclassical adiabatic and sudden transition state theory. Good agreement is obtained with CS and sudden quantal computations. Analysis of the transition state theories at the level of rotationally averaged cross sections leads to a new interpretation of the quantal sudden computation and to convergence of the adiabatic and sudden approximations in reactive scattering.
