I am trying to understand the m-xyz file format and methods for creating them for animations.

Please can someone explain the origin of the "FOR REACTION COORDINATE" data item in this sample m-xyz file?

Does Jmol make any use of this data?

cyclohexane_movie.xyz from http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/animation/

HEAT OF FORMATION = -38.59443 KCAL = -161.47910 KJ; FOR REACTION COORDINATE = -176.55290 DEG
