A Resolution to the Marcus-Rehm-Weller Paradox in Electron Transfer
Ethan Abraham
Marcus theory famously predicts that electron-transfer rates decrease once the thermodynamic driving force exceeds the reorganization energy. Yet many systems instead exhibit Rehm-…

Ab Initio Free Energy Surfaces for Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer
Ethan Abraham, Martin Z. Bazant, Troy Van Voorhis
Although coupled ion-electron transfer (CIET) has emerged as a powerful framework to rationalize the kinetics of Faradaic reactions, its mechanism has lacked a fully microscopic, f…

Effective reorganization energy for electron transfer
Ethan Abraham, Junghyun Yoon, Troy Van Voorhis +1
The Marcus theory expression for the rate of non-adiabatic electron transfer is widely used across a range of physical conditions. Although Marcus theory defines the reorganization…
