The Transfer of Atoms, Ions and Molecular Groups in Solution. Part 1. Models and Limits,
Abstract
The theory of the activated complex, as formulated by Marcus, is applied to the transfer in condensed phases of atoms, ions and molecular groups. Particular attention is given to reactions which take place in the diabatic limit. A Born-Oppenheimer-Holstein separation is developed in order to separate the degrees of freedom of the reactive subsystem from those of the environment; perturbations which can drive the reaction in the diabatic limit are identified. An analysis of a simple system is carried out. The system is two-dimensional and consists of a lithium cation which migrates (via activation) from one site of solvation to another.
