We derived simple formulas for diffusion-influenced reaction rates with symmetric potentials. These expressions accurately predict reaction coefficients for contact reactions and show good agreement with numerical data for various potentials.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Diffusion-influenced reactions are fundamental in chemical processes.
  • Understanding reaction kinetics requires accurate rate coefficients.
  • Spherically symmetric potentials are common in molecular interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive simple, closed-form expressions for time-dependent rate coefficients.
  • To analyze diffusion-influenced reactions in the presence of spherically symmetric potentials.
  • To provide tools for analyzing experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of analytic expressions for rate coefficients.
  • Comparison with numerical results for specific potentials (e.g., Debye-Hückel).
