In this paper, we present a detailed study on the application of the quantum control techniqueof navigation in the energy spectrum to chemical isomerization processes, namely, CN?LiLi?CN. This technique is based on the controlled time variation of a Hamiltonian parameter,an external uniform electric field in our case. The main result of our work establishes that thenavigation involved in the method is robust, in the sense that quite sizable deviations from apre-established control parameter time profile can be introduced and still get good final results. This isspecially relevant thinking of a experimental implementation of the method.
