The rate of electron-transfer reactions in the diffusive limit

A simple electron-transfer reaction is treated in the diffusive limit, in which the motion of the solvent is governed by the Smoluchowski equation. The electronic transition probability is calculated from the Landau-Zener expression. The rate constant of the reaction is calculated as a function o...

Резюме:A simple electron-transfer reaction is treated in the diffusive limit, in which the motion of the solvent is governed by the Smoluchowski equation. The electronic transition probability is calculated from the Landau-Zener expression. The rate constant of the reaction is calculated as a function of the strength of the electronic interaction between the reactants. For weak interactions, the rate is the same as that obtained form first-order perturbation theory. For strong interactions, solvent dynamics is rate-determining. The calculations presented here bridge these two limits.
