Abstract
The dispersed polaron model [Warshel, Hwang, J. Chem. Phys. 84 (1986) 4938] provides a powerful way of using classical molecular dynamics si mulation in evaluation of quantum mechanical rate constant for electro n transfer and related processes. Similar application is provided by t he so-called spin-boson Hamiltonian. Here we establish that both appro aches are equivalent. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
