Electron transfer reactions beyond conventional theory

(Femtochemistry - Femtobiology)

The standard description of the dynamics of electron transfer processes are based on the Marcus theory and its modifications, e.g. the one by Bixon and Jortner. One basic assumption of these theory is the thermal equilibrium of the reactants of the electron transfer. For reaction in the subpicosecond regime this assumption does not hold, since relaxation processes (dielectric and vibrational) are frequently slower. Besides in this time range the interesting crossover from non-adiabatic to adiabatic reaction behaviour is observed.

In our lab electron transfer systems with extremely short reaction times are investigated. For example, the intermolecular electron transfer time for the system oxazine 1 / dimethylaniline was determined to be ~ 30 fs. In this reaction the dye molecule oxazine 1 is surrounded by several donor molecules, therefore the "pair reaction time" can not be determined precisely. Latest results on an analogue intramolecular electron transfer system show that comparable (ultrashort) times can also be observed in this well defined system.
