Dynamic effects in non-adiabatic charge transfer Original Research Article

Charge transfer processes in weak inter- or intramolecular complexes can be dominated by tunnelling effects. Conformational transitions within the medium or in the donor-acceptor complex result in the charge of the distance between the centers and thus influence the coupling between the states of a transferred charge. We discuss the effective transfer coupling for non-adiabatic processes in a random medium. We analyze the interference of spatial dichotomic fluctuations within the medium with the overall kinetic rate.
