Abstract
A multistep kinetic model in which solvent motion is treated in the framework of Marcus theory and the rates of the elementary electron transfer step are evaluated at full quantum mechanical level is proposed and applied to the calculation of the rates of intramolecular electron transfer reactions in rigidly spaced D–Br–A (D = 1,1′-biphenyl radical anion, Br = androstane) compounds, for five acceptors (A) in three organic solvents with different polarity. The calculated rates agree well with experimental ones, and their temperature dependence is almost quantitatively reproduced.
