Rehm-Weller free energy relation

The Rehm-Weller equation which is based on electrochemical and spectroscopic data is used almost universally for the calculation of reaction free energies of e.t. It relates the oxidation potential of the donor D and the reduction potential of... [Pg.105]

The charge transfer process between donor and acceptor molecules influences the mode of the addition reaction. This charge transfer process is closely related to the free energy change AG of the radical ion pair formation and can be calculated from the Rehm-Weller equation [9] using the oxidation potential of the donor (D), the reduction potential of the acceptor (A), and the excitation energy of the excited species and coulombic interaction energy by the radical ion pair at the encounter distance for their interaction.
