Abstract
We have sketched the broad outlines of a new theory of elementary electron transfer in condensed matter in the light of which the nature of the well-k nown narrow optical J-band is due to an unusual resonance between the elect ron and environmental nuclear reorganization motion, not to averaging an en vironmental statistical disorder by the quickly moving Frenkel exciton as i s generally believed.
