摘要
One of the crucial parameters determining the electron transfer rate, Franck-Condon factor, ws evaluated quantitatively for electron exchange reactions involving hexaquo-metal ions. Adopting appropriate spectroscopic and photoemission data, reasonable results were obtained and compared in terms of classical and quantum-mechanical theory. Investigation shows that for such reactions occurred at room temperature, nuclear tunneling effects increase the absolute rates by several times, which are not dramatic but still should be considered for complementary purpose.
