Photoinduced electron transfer

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the photochemistry subtree

Transfer of an electron from a donor to an acceptor mediated by excitation of one of the two species by a photon. Rate is governed by Marcus theory: k_ET ∝ exp(−(ΔG° + λ)² / (4λk_BT)), with reorganisation energy λ setting the activation…
