Realistic quantitative descriptions of electron transfer reactions: diabatic free-energy surfaces from first-principles molecular dynamics.
A general approach to calculate the diabatic surfaces for electron-transfer reactions is presented, based on first-principles molecular dynamics of the active centers and their surrounding medium. The excitation energy corresponding to the transfer of an electron at any given ionic configuration (the Marcus energy gap) is accurately assessed within ground-state density-functional theory via a n...
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 کاملThe diabatic picture of electron transfer, reaction barriers, and molecular dynamics.
Diabatic states have a long history in chemistry, beginning with early valence bond pictures of molecular bonding and extending through the construction of model potential energy surfaces to the modern proliferation of methods for computing these elusive states. In this review, we summarize the basic principles that define the diabatic basis and demonstrate how they can be applied in the specif...
متن کاملDynamics of reversible electron transfer reactions
The dynamics of reversible electron transfer reactions in Debye solvents are studied by employing two coupled diffusion-reaction equations with the rate constants depending on the reaction coordinate. The equations are solved analytically in four limiting cases: fast and slow reactions as well as wide and narrow reaction windows. A general solution for the survival probabilities is obtained by ...
متن کاملDynamics of Bimolecular Photoinduced Electron-Transfer Reactions
From the accumulated results of several research groups over the last 25 years, it is clear that photoinduced electron-transfer reactions have significantly broadened the scope of organic photochemistry.1 The fundamental mechanistic principle is that when quenching of an excited state via electron transfer is sufficiently exothermic, the reaction occurs at or close to the diffusion-controlled l...
