Abstract
In the Marcus theory of electron transfer the reaction coordinate due to solvent motion plays a central role. In 1991,Zhu and Rasaiah [J. Chem. Phys.95, 3325 (1991)] tried to define the reaction coordinate in terms of the solvent orientational polarization function. However, their definition is not consistent with the associated free energy curves as functions of the reaction coordinate. The appropriate definition of the reaction coordinate and the associated free energy curves are presented.
