  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006954",
  "term": "Marcus equation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A theoretical expression that describes the rate of electron transfer reactions in terms of the reorganization energy and the Gibbs free energy change of the reaction. This equation predicts a parabolic relationship between the reaction rate and the driving force. It is a cornerstone of electron transfer theory in chemistry.",
