The values of can be roughly estimated within the framework of a simplified model
suggesting electrostatic interactions of oxidized donor
and reduced acceptor
of
radii
and
separated by the distance
with media of dielectric constant
and
refraction index n:
Taking into account the volume of reagents, the theory gives the following Eq. 2.10
(Kharkats, 1976).
Further development of theory of reorganization energy consists in taking to consideration
the properties of medium and manner in which it interfaces with the solute (Newton,
1999). These properties must include both size and shape of the solute and solvent
molecules, distribution of electron density in reagents and products and the frequency
domain appropriate to medium reorganization.
