Abstract
The influence of micelles on electron transfer processes is reviewed. The m icelles modify the rate of electron transfer reactions by producing changes in all the relevant parameters controlling this rate; that is, through mod ification of the reorganization free energy, the reaction free energy, the nuclear dynamics and the strength of the coupling between the donor and the acceptor. Applications of studies on electron transfer reactions in micell ar systems in different fields are presented.
