Electron transfer theory and its inception.

It is a pleasure to introduce this issue on electron transfer processes. The field has developed greatly and in many different directions not envisioned in the late 1940s. The modern electron transfer era began at that time in the form of studies on the simplest class of reactions in all of chemistry, isotopic exchange reactions of the electron transfer type. In their simplest form no chemical ...

Reflections on Self-Determination Theory

The present collection of articles in this special issue on selfdetermination theory (SDT) reflects the quality and creativity of the research conducted by Canadian motivation researchers. In this concluding article, we make some general comments that underscore common elements in these articles. Furthermore, we highlight some issues that may not have attracted researchers’ attention but would ...

On the theory of electron transfer reactions at semiconductorÕliquid interfaces. II. A free electron model

Electron transfer reactions at semiconductor/liquid interfaces are studied using the Fermi Golden rule and a free electron model for the semiconductor and the redox molecule. Bardeen’s method is adapted to calculate the coupling matrix element between the molecular and semiconductor electronic states where the effective electron mass in the semiconductor need not equal the actual electron mass....
