  • Chemical Kinetics

Background:

  • Electron transfer (ET) is fundamental in chemistry and biology.
  • Understanding ET kinetics in complex environments is challenging.
  • Dynamical influences on ET reaction rates require advanced theoretical models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel theoretical framework for studying electron transfer (ET) kinetics.
  • To investigate the role of complex environments and dynamical effects on ET.
  • To utilize first passage times (FPT) for a comprehensive kinetic analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new theoretical approach based on first passage times (FPT).
  • Analysis of mean and higher-order moments of FPT.
