On the Theory of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer. II. Applications to Data on the Rates of Isotopic Exchange Reactions

The rates of some homogeneous isotopic exchange reactions in solution are considered in the light of a recently developed quantitative theory of redox processes (Part I). The re...

ON THE THEORY OF ELECTROCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL ELECTRON TRANSFER PROCESSES

Kinetic studies of simple electron transfer systems in solution and at electrodes have revealed a number of interesting and simplifying features. The chemical reactions also rep...

Electron transfers in chemistry and biology

On the Theory of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer. I

A mechanism for electron transfer reactions is described, in which there is very little spatial overlap of the electronic orbitals of the two reacting molecules in the activated...

Exchange reactions and electron transfer reactions including isotopic exchange. Theory of oxidation-reduction reactions involving electron transfer. Part 4.—A statistical-mechanical basis for treating contributions from solvent, ligands, and inert salt

The mechanism for electron transfer is discussed in terms of an atomic motion on a potential-energy surface in many-dimensional atomic configuration space. In the absence of ele...

Vibrational nonadiabaticity and tunneling effects in transition state theory

The usual quantum mechanical derivation of transition state theory is a statistical one (a quasi-equilibrium is assumed) or dynamical. The typical dynamical one defines a set of...
