Region for which the rate constants increase with increasing exergonicity
of the reaction in plots relating rate constants for
electron transfer,
or quantities related to it, with the standard Gibbs energy for the reaction
(
).
This region is predicted by the Marcus
theory for
outer-sphere electron transfer for the case of
in the Marcus equation.
