Abstract

The nonadiabatic proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions in solutions are formulated based on a multistate continuum theory. The reactions are described as the transition between two sets of adiabatic free energy surfaces in relation with the two electron transfer states. The formula defines the reorganization energies, equilibrium free energy differences and couplings in terms of the two-dimensional free energy surfaces.
