Marcus-Hush relationship

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006956",
  "term": "Marcus-Hush relationship",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A theoretical framework that describes the rate of electron transfer reactions in terms of the reorganization energy and the driving force of the reaction. It predicts a parabolic dependence of the reaction rate on the free energy change. This relationship is a cornerstone of Marcus theory, which provides a quantitative description of electron transfer kinetics.",
