Abstract
For a wide variety of organic and organometallic reactions, the observed correlation of the second-order rate constant (log k) with the charge transfer transition energy (hv CT) directly relates the activated complex for the adiabatic process to the ion pair derived from the vertical CT excitation of the electron donor-acceptor complex as experimentally observed by time-resolved spectroscopy.
