Electron - affinity motion

From Eq, (1) it is clear that a model of crystal polarization that is adequate for the description of the piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of the P-phase of PVDF must include an accurate description of both the dipole moment of the repeat unit and the unit cell volume as functions of temperature and applied mechanical stress or strain. The dipole moment of the repeat unit includes contributions from the intrinsic polarity of chemical bonds (primarily carbon-fluorine) owing to differences in electron affinity, induced dipole moments owing to atomic and electronic polarizability, and attenuation owing to the thermal oscillations of the dipole. Previous modeling efforts have emphasized the importance of one more of these effects electronic polarizability based on continuum dielectric theory" or Lorentz field sums of dipole lattices" static, atomic level modeling of the intrinsic bond polarity" atomic level modeling of bond polarity and electronic and atomic polarizability in the absence of thermal motion. " The unit cell volume is responsive to the effects of temperature and stress and therefore requires a model based on an expression of the free energy of the crystal. 

The next step is the hydride transfer which occurs in the same way as before. The calculated barrier is only 3.0 kcal/mol. After the minor proton motion as described in Section III.A, there is again an electron and proton release. The calculated electron affinity is now 90.7 kcal/mol corresponding to a redox potential of —0.26 V. The proton affinity of the product is 289.9 kcal/mol. The entire catalytic cycle for the case with the protonated His77 is shown in Fig. 9.

Electron transfer reactions and spectroscopic charge-transfer transitions have been extensively studied, and it has been shown that both processes can be described with a similar theoretical formalism. The activation energy of the thermal process and the transition energy of the optical process are each determined by two factors one due to the difference in electron affinity of the donor and acceptor sites, and the other arising from the fact that the electronically excited state is a nonequilibrium state with respect to atomic motion (P ranck Condon principle). Theories of electron transfer have been concerned with predicting the magnitude of the Franck-Condon barrier but, in the field of thermal electron transfer kinetics, direct comparisons between theory and experimental data have been possible only to a limited extent. One difficulty is that in kinetic studies it is generally difficult to separate the electron transfer process from the complex formation...
