Ac. Reddy et al., ELECTRON-TRANSFER MECHANISMS - A MECHANISTIC CHANGEOVER INDUCED BY ANINTRAMOLECULAR SPACER IN A MODEL REACTION OF THE NH3 C2H4-CENTER-DOT+PAIR/, Perkin transactions. 2, (9), 1995, pp. 1717-1719
Computational evidence is reported for a reversal in the type of an el
ectron transfer (ET) mechanism, induced by an intramolecular linkage o
f the donor (amine) and acceptor (cation radical) moieties via a singl
e -CH2(-)spacer. An isotope effect probe is suggested to detect this m
echanistic changeover.
