Abstract
AbstractThe wave functions of donor–acceptor pairs before and after electron transfer are written as a product of the electron‐vibrational wave functions of the donor and acceptor with allowance for the change in the number of electrons on these particles by one after transition. In this approximation, the energy of the initial state is represented as a sum of the electron‐vibrational levels of the donor and acceptor and that of the final state as a sum of donor cation and acceptor anion levels. Formulas for the electron transfer probability of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical donor–acceptor pairs have been derived that express the dependence of this process on the ionization potential difference of the donor and the electron affinity of the acceptor, on the vibrational frequencies of these particles, and on temperature.
