Verification of the Marcus Inverted Region

When the reorganization energy (A) of electron transfer is small, the Marcus inverted region (A < -AG°ct) where the rate constant of electron transfer decreases with increasing driving force (—AG et) is reached at smaller — AG°et values [1, 47]. To date, experimental verification of the existence of such an inverted region has... 

One of the most exciting developments in the field of electron transfer has been the experimental verification of the classical Marcus theory [326,327], which predicts a decrease in the rate constant for the electron transfer as the exothermicity of the electron fransferring process increases. As it turns out, this so-called Marcus inverted region occurs frequently for photo-...
