Abstract
In the theory of Sumi and Kakitani on electron transfer (ET) via a midway m olecule, the overall ET was formulated using the second-order perturbation method and phenomenologically incorporating the renormalization factor in t he intermediate state to escape from the divergence of the rate. In this Le tter, we developed a nonperturbative theory of the ET via a midway molecule and we have succeeded in naturally deriving the above renormalization fact or under certain approximations.
