Hopping Reactions of Charged-Particles
The hopping theory of transfer reactions is essentially generalized to account for the electrostatic interaction between reactants. An application is made for a solvated electron that may be trapped by ions in the course of a random walk in liquid solutions. The hopping reaction constant differs essentially from the diffusional constant but exhibits a similar dependence on the Onsager radius : reactions with anions are strongly suppressed while reactions with cations are significantly accelerated.
