Abstract

The solvent force constants k characterizing the fluctuations of a polar solvent in the presence of a solute ion pair A+B- and a neutral pair AB are determined by molecular dynamics simulation. The origin of the observed difference in the k values and the consequences for electron-transfer rate-reaction free energy gap behavior are discussed.
