Long Distance Electron Transfer

这项研究的意义在于它与 控制生物电子传递的特异性因素。 描述了研究电子转移的实验 已经设计的新的分子内双卟啉体系， 在上一个支持期在罗切斯特合成。这些 分子允许供体受体距离的系统变化， 角取向，桥连基团的性质，介质动力学， 反应自由能和反应重组能。 此类研究 可以提供电流理论的关键测试可以提供电流理论的关键测试 反应.

The significance of this research is in its relationship to thespecific factors which control biological electron transfer. Experiments are described to study electron transfer in novelintramolecular bis porphyrin systems which have been designed andsynthesized at Rochester during the previous support period. These molecules allow systematic variations in donor acceptordistance, angular orientation, nature of bridging group, mediumdynamics, reaction free eneergy and reaction reorganizationenergy. Such studies can provide critical tests of currenttheories of electrotransfer reactions.
