Question
The free energy change, AG, in the homogenous cross-exchange ET reaction of
[Ru(bpy)2]* and ferricytochrome c is -104.6 kJ mol¯1. The second-order activation-limited
rate constant, kobs, is 2.5 × 108 M-1 s-1. Taking KDA = 1.0 M¹, N = 1 × 1011 s-1, and x = 1,
estimate the values of AG* and 2. In what kinetic region is this reaction?
Hint:
By substituting the Marcus equation into the expression for the rate constant of an
adiabatic homogenous ET reaction, the rate constant of a cross-exchange ET
reaction may be written as
