ELECTRON-TRANSFER REACTIONS IN CHEMISTRY - THEORY AND EXPERIMENT

Since the late 1940s, the field of electron transfer processes has gro wn enormously in chemistry, electrochemistry, and biology. The develop ment of the field, experimentally and theoretically, as well as its re lation to the study of the other kinds of chemical reactions, presents an intriguing history in which many threads have been brought togethe r. In this article, some history, recent trends, and my own involvemen t are described. (C) 1993 Nobel Foundation(2).
