Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

Through incremental change, Nature reworks and repurposes its functional machinery. In
this way, proteins that photochemically repair DNA by moving protons and electrons have a …

The present monograph attempts to unify these diverse and exciting new developments
within a common framework. First, the physical principles underlying heterogenous electron …

Electron-transfer reactions between ions and molecules in solution have been the subject of
considerable experimental study during the past three decades. Experimental results have …

The calculation of rate coefficients is a discipline of nonlinear science of importance to much
of physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology. Fifty years after Kramers' seminal paper on …

Since the late 1940s, the field of electron transfer processes has grown enormously, both in
chemistry and biology. The development of the field, experimentally and theoretically, as …

This is an overview of some of the important, challenging, and problematic issues in
contemporary electron transfer research. After a qualitative discussion of electron transfer, its …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

Great attention is currently paid to the synthesis of polynuclear transition metal complexes
and the study of their photochemical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties. This …

Ferroelectric materials, in addition to possessing the unique property of a reversible,
spontaneous polarization, exhibit a range of other significant and useful properties. These …
