✦ Synopsis

A properly modified inner boundary condition is used in an analysis of the conditional reaction probability, &(ro I r). using the Debye-Smoluchowski

equation_ It is shown that the Coulomb potential modifies the reaction velocity at the boundary by the addition of a drift term. @(ro, t) is identical for attractive and repulsive cases if a constant term is added to the boundary velocity for the attractive potential.
