Abstract

Abstract: A weak-interaction model for proton self-exchange between transition-metal centers is considered. The rate constant obtained from the Fermi golden-rule expression of radiationless transition theory is a product of terms for assembling acid and base reactants at the correct orientation and distance, a classical reaction frequency, an electron-proton reaction probability, and classical nuclear factors deriving from the requirement for ...
