Biological electron-transfer reactions.
A wide range of biological processes makes extensive use of electron-transfer reactions. Rigorous characterization of a biological electron-transfer reaction requires a combination of kinetic, thermodynamic, structural and theoretical methods. The rate of electron transfer from an electron donor to an electron acceptor through a protein is dependent on the difference in reduction potential of t...
متن کاملA unified diabatic description for electron transfer reactions, isomerization reactions, proton transfer reactions, and aromaticity.
While diabatic approaches are ubiquitous for the understanding of electron-transfer reactions and have been mooted as being of general relevance, alternate applications have not been able to unify the same wide range of observed spectroscopic and kinetic properties. The cause of this is identified as the fundamentally different orbital configurations involved: charge-transfer phenomena involve ...
متن کاملElectron‐Transfer and Hydride‐Transfer Pathways in the Stoltz–Grubbs Reducing System (KOtBu/Et3SiH)
Recent studies by Stoltz, Grubbs et al. have shown that triethylsilane and potassium tert-butoxide react to form a highly attractive and versatile system that shows (reversible) silylation of arenes and heteroarenes as well as reductive cleavage of C-O bonds in aryl ethers and C-S bonds in aryl thioethers. Their extensive mechanistic studies indicate a complex network of reactions with a number...
متن کاملElectron transfer rates for asymmetric reactions
We use a numerically exact real-time path integral Monte Carlo scheme to compute electron transfer dynamics between two redox sites within a spin-boson approach. The case of asymmetric reactions is studied in detail in the least understood crossover region between nonadiabatic and adiabatic electron transfer. At intermediate-to-high temperature, we find good agreement with standard Marcus theor...
متن کاملA Model for Orientation Effects in Electron‐Transfer Reactions
A method for solving the single-particle Schrooinger equation with an oblate spheroidal potential of finite depth is presented. The wave functions are then used to calculate the matrix element T. h"h ~ w 1c appears in theories of nonadiabatic electron transfer. The results illustrate the effects of mutual orientation and separation of the two centers on T BA. Trends in these results are discuss...
