Abstract

Electron-transfer cross-reactions between neutral molecules and their radical cations spanning a wide range of structural type and intrinsic reactivity have been analyzed using classical Marcus theory. The principal factor found to govern intrinsic reactivity is the inner-shell bond reorganization energy. The HOMO-LUMO overlap of alkyl groups on reacting molecules is generally sufficient to provide facile electron transfer; however, a significant steric effect on this overlap is observed for hydrazines with alkyl groups larger than methyl.
