Av. Barzykin et M. Tachiya, 3-CENTER CORRECTION TO SOLVENT REORGANIZATION ENERGY IN ELECTRON-TRANSFER REACTIONS, Chemical physics letters, 285(3-4), 1998, pp. 150-154
Many donor/acceptor centers are often involved in electron transfer in
supramolecular systems with a variety of competitive pathways, either
direct or mediated by energetically suitable bridging molecules. In t
his Letter, complementary to the previous study by Motylewski et al. (
Chem. Phys. 212 (1996) 193) on electron transfers in a model triad sys
tem, a simple expression for the three-center correction to the solven
t reorganization energy is derived within the dielectric continuum mod
el. Applications of the results obtained to recent experimental findin
gs are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
