Cycle reversal creates predicted trajectories consisting of prospective near minima points, which upon optimization can be tested for the conservation of hydrogen bonding family membership; that is, configurations that are related to each other by cycle reversals. The members of these families have similar energies as shown in Table and in the swarmplots. The similarity of energies suggests the delocalization 31 of hydrogen and the viability of the Grotthus mechanism in facilitating transformation between the different configurations.
