Solvent Dynamical and Symmetrized Potential Aspects of Electron Transfer Rates

Abstract

Recent experiments on very fast electron transfers have provided evidence for slow solvent dynamics under such conditions. The role of the vibrational motion of the reactants is included in the present treatment. The overall decay can be single- or multi-exponential. A simple approximate expression is given for a characteristic reaction time. The "symmetrization" approximation in the cross-relation is also discussed.
