The Mechanistic Interpretation of PET

Given the importance of ET this step has been comprehensively studied and a number of sophisticated theories developed to model it. Most hinge on the seminal work by Marcus, which was recognised in 1992 with the award of the Nobel prize in chemistry.  

For further information and alternative mechanistic interpretations of PET, the reader is directed to several pathways that have been lucidly described 

While elucidating the precise nature of the amine base boronic acid (N-B) interaction has been debated (Section 4.9), it is clear that an interaction does exist and it provides two distinct advantages. 

The first, proposed by WulflF, is that the interaction between a boronic acid and proximal amine lowers the p Tg of the boronic acid. This effect is sufficient so as to allow binding to occur at neutral, i.e., physiological, pH. 

Kijima has developed an on—off PET system 79, which behaves in oppo-
