abstract

  • The differences in force constant and dissociation energy between members of the redox pairs HO-/HO, HS-/HS, and HSe-/HSe are quantitatively explained in terms of the electrostatic and mechanical couplings of a classical model. This model gives an explicit physical description of factors that can cause changes in stretch force constant between oxidized and reduced states to be very small, a condition assumed in theoretical treatments of thermally activated electron transfer. © 1986 American Institute of Physics.
