ELECTRON TRANSFER PROCESSES Meyer Limit 20 Prereq: 030.356 or Perm. Req’d Electron transfer processes are distinguished by their ubiquity and essential roles in many physical, chemical, and biological processes. Rates of electron transfer in cytochromes and semiconductors span over 20 orders of magnitude.  Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that underlie this large rate variation.  This course is concerned primarily with this issue. Electron transfer theories will be developed from historic point of view. Basic concepts and terminology will be discussed as well as the spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques useful for quantitating electron transfer processes. Recent electron transfer studies in biology, the solid state, and solution will also be highlighted.
