Electron transfer processes inverted regime

Photoinitiated and optical electron-transfer processes and their relationship to corresponding ground-state thermal processes provide important new tests of theory, especially when comparisons are made for a given DBA system, of charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR), or of thermal and optical electron transfer (e.g., [27]). Photoinitiated processes have also been valuable in providing access to the dynamics of electron transfer in the activationless and inverted kinetic regimes (e.g., [43, 44]). 

X = 8000 cm" ). It is seen that the charge recombination process leading to the Cr(ni) doublet state is expected to be in the nearly activationless regime, whereas that leading to the ground state is likely to lie deep into the "inverted region" of electron transfer (section 1.3.2). In terms of radiationless transition theory, the excited-state charge recombination is favored by its...
