Electrochemical and Optical Electron Transfer Processes.
Abstract
A summary of significant results is given covering the three broad areas of investigation: 1) Nonequilibrium electronic polarization and loss in optical electron transfer: a) first observation of this effect and subsequent detailed experimental study; b) development of a detailed theory accounting for experimental results. 2) Inner-sphere nuclear reorganization in optical electron transfer: a) treatment of cations and metal complexes and correlation between optical electron transfer and thermal electron exchange; b) development of the theoretical solvation model of inner-sphere reorganization for univalent anions and experimental verification of this model; c) application to the energetics of anion/radical couples in aqueous solution; d) application to the gas-liquid shift for photoelectron emission. 3) Ionization energies of liquids from energy distribution, quantum yield and second derivative curves. A list of reports and publications arising from this work is supplied.
