Abstract

In this paper we compare the quantum-mechanical and classical theories of electron transfer in polar media, which involve large inner-shell reorganization energy. For symmetrical electron-transfer reactions, quantum corrections result from nuclear tunneling effects. These quantum effects increase the absolute value of the rate of the electron-transfer process for the Co(NH₃)₆²⁺-Co(NH₃)₆ ³⁺ exchange at room temperature by less than 1 order of magnitude.
