✦ Synopsis

The free energy change of an electron transfer reaction in a polar solvent is rigorously analyzed within the framework of the dielectric continuum model. An appropriate expression for the electrostatic energy between the two product ions separated by R is derived. The present result does not support a recent claim by Suppan that, if R is close to the contact distance, the electrostatic energy should be much larger in magnitude than estimated from the usual expression -e'/t,R.

We conducted Monte Carlo simulations of polar solutions by explicitly treating the effect of electronic polarizability of solvent molecules. Based on these data, we calculated the energy-gap dependence of electron-transfer rates. It was found that a considerable asymmetry of the energy-gap dependenc
