Solvent Effects on Electron Transfer Reactions of Metal Complexes

Light Induced Electron Transfer Reactions of Metal Complexes

Properties of the excited states of tris(2,2'—bipyridine) and tris(l,lO—phenanthroline) complexes of chromium(III), iron(II), ruthenium(II), osmium(II), rhodium(III), and iridium(III) are described. The electron transfer reactions of the ground and excited states are discussed and interpreted in terms of the driving force for the reaction and the distortions of the excited states relative to th...

Electron transfer between metal complexes: retrospective.

Solvent reorganization energy of electron-transfer reactions in polar solvents.

A microscopic theory of solvent reorganization energy in polar molecular solvents is developed. The theory represents the solvent response as a combination of the density and polarization fluctuations of the solvent given in terms of the density and polarization structure factors. A fully analytical formulation of the theory is provided for a solute of arbitrary shape with an arbitrary distribu...
