Abstract

The quantum theory of electron transfer processes is extended to treat frequency changes between initial and final electronic states. In contrast to earlier extensions that include the effects of frequency changes, the final results emerge in a compact, physically transparent Marcus type form with two new added terms that depend on the frequency changes. The results exhibit an interesting situation where frequency changes can balance against the traditional reorganization energy.
