Recently Kakitani and Mataga claimed that the free energy dependence of electron transfer rates in polar solvents could be explained by taking into account the dielectric saturation effect of polar solvents. It is shown that the basic assumption of their model is incorrect. The correct treatment of
Some recent studies of inner-sphere and outer-sphere electron-transfer reactions in solution are described. Various indirect criteria for determining the mechanisms of electron-transfer re actions and the question of ligand bridging at electrodes are discussed.
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
