Question

How to calculate the cross exchange rate constant in marcus theory?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given the measured self-exchange rate constant for stellacyanin (k11 1.2 x 105 M 1s-1), the Marcus cross relation (Equation 6.26a) can be used to calculate the reaction rates for the reduction of CuII-stellacyanin by Fe(EDTA)2- and the oxidation of Cul-stellacyanin by Co(phen)33+.
