a

The reorganization energy of the [CuII(ON-O)(O2•−/O22−)]2+/+ self-exchange was determined by calculating λo for the complex in CH2Cl2 at −80 °C (using eq 4 and the information in the Supporting Information of ref 42) and adding this value to the computed value of λin.

b

The reported k11 for this complex may have been derived incorrectly using parameters from PCET steps.13 Therefore, no λ was estimated for this complex.

c

Calculated from eq 1 using the measured k11.
