The quantum solvation, adiabatic versus nonadiabatic, and Markovian versus non-Markovian nature of electron-transfer rate processes.
In this work, we revisit the electron-transfer rate theory, with particular interests in the distinct quantum solvation effect and the characterizations of adiabatic/nonadiabatic and Markovian/non-Markovian rate processes. We first present a full account for the quantum solvation effect on the electron transfer in Debye solvents, addressed previously in J. Theor. Comput. Chem. 2006, 5, 685. Dis...
متن کاملSolvent reorganization in electron and ion transfer reactions near a smooth electrified surface: a molecular dynamics study.
Molecular dynamics simulations of electron and ion transfer reactions near a smooth surface are presented, analyzing the effect of the geometrical constraint of the surface and the interfacial electric field on the relevant solvation properties of both a monovalent negative ion and a neutral atom. The simulations show that, from the solvation point of view, ion adsorption is an uphill process d...
متن کاملFree energy functionals for polarization fluctuations: Pekar factor revisited.
The separation of slow nuclear and fast electronic polarization in problems related to electron mobility in polarizable media was considered by Pekar 70 years ago. Within dielectric continuum models, this separation leads to the Pekar factor in the free energy of solvation by the nuclear degrees of freedom. The main qualitative prediction of Pekar's perspective is a significant, by about a fact...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Photoinduced Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer through Asymmetric Salt Bridges
The theoretical study in this paper is based on the experimental result that the rate of photoinduced electron transfer is ∼102 times slower through a donor-(amidinium-carboxylate)-acceptor salt bridge than through the corresponding switched interface donor-(carboxylate-amidinium)-acceptor complex (Kirby, J. P.; Roberts, J. A.; Nocera, D. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 9230). This experimental...
متن کاملInvestigating Stability and Solubility Properties of Cyclophosphamide-Functionalized (8,0) and (4,4) CNT Complexes in Water: Computational Studies
Stabilities and quantum molecular descriptors of cyclophoshphamide (an anticancer drug)-functionalized (8,0) zigzag and (4,4) armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) complexes in water were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two attachments namely the sidewall- and tip-attachments are considered for the model constructions. Calculations of the total electronic energy (Et) and ...
