You can certainly do it the code will allow it. How well it will work will
very much depend on how you setup the calculation, the QM region you choose
and whether the QM theory model you use is appropriate for that reaction. As
long as the bond is broken within the QM region though there is nothing
stopping you running this. You will just have to be careful building your
two end point prmtops. I suggest checking the literature for everything
involving NEB before you start though.
Good luck,
Ross
