Trivial Mechanism for electron transfer http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/demos/main_pages/9.4.html
Forster Theory of Coulombic Energy Transfer dipole-dipole interaction 2: orientation. Alignment factor J: overlap. Energy match of donor and acceptor R: distance between dipoles
Comparison: Forster v. Dexter Forster: Dexter: • Dependence on separation. Dexter much stronger than Forster. • Forster depends on oscillator strength. • Both dependent on J. • Dexter involves excited states
Triplet Triplet Annihilation. Energy transfer via electron exchange
Free energy in solution phase Gas phase results + terms for solution G Electrochemical potential in solution
Libby vs. Marcus theory Frank-Condon e Jump • Three events: • Electron transfer • Molecular reorientation • Solvent reorientation Libby: Molecular and solvent after Electron. Marcus: Assumptions: 1. Loose bonding between molecules for classical phys/chem analysis 2. Geometrical and solvent reorientation to provide energy for the e jump
