MECHANISM OF ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS

Abstract

Understanding electron transfer mechanisms in solution-phase reactions is paramount in the field of inorganic chemistry, where it significantly influences diverse chemical processes and applications. These abstract aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and mechanisms governing electron transfer reactions within the domain of inorganic chemistry In solution-phase electron transfer reactions, the migration of electrons from donor to acceptor species results in the creation of products with altered oxidation states. A thorough grasp of the kinetics and thermodynamics of these reactions is essential, with factors such as solvent properties, temperature, and reactant characteristics exerting notable influences.
