contents This study address the computational determination of catalytic reaction rates by moving beyond traditional Transition State Theory (TST), addressing its limitations in complex systems. The Hill relation framework, integrated with Adaptive Multilevel Splitting (AMS), offers exact rate constants for stochastic dynamics, overcoming TST's assumptions and limitations such as recrossings and post-transition state bifurcations. Two case studies validate the approach: water formation on γ-alumina and protonated isobutanol dehydration in the gas phase, demonstrating consistency with DFT results and highlighting the importance of dynamical effects. This framework provides a robust, computationally feasible methodology for studying complex catalytic processes.
