Prediction of the Rate Constants for Proton Abstraction from Carbon Acids, Using a Simple Model and Multidimensional Marcus Theory

摘要

The success of the model suggests that it may form a pattern for a general interpretation of Marcus intrinsic barriers. It is worth noting that in the original derivation of Marcus theory for outersphere electron transfer reactions, the model used was equivalent to a two-dimensional model with no intrinsic barrier in either dimension.
