A study is made of the kinetic salt effects upon the outer-sphere electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate(I1) and 4-pyridinecarboxylatopentaamminecobalt(III~. The observed salts effects are analyzed, taking into account the possible association of the reactants with the ions of the suppo

โฆ Synopsis
The dependence of the rate constant for electron transfer on energy can be systematically studied by measuring kinetics in an applied electric field. General relationships are developed between observed electric-field-modulated kinetics and theoretical expressions for the electron transfer rate constant, including both the energy dependence of the nuclear (Franck-Condon) and superexchange electronic factors. The technique described here augments the well-known approach of using chemical substitution of donors and acceptors as a probe of the dependence of rate on energy.
