Influence of Electron Donor-Acceptor Distance Probability Distribution on Distance Dependence of PCET Rate Constant with Hydrogen Phosphate as Proton Acceptor.a
| P(RET) | Calc. |slope| (Å−1) | Calc. |slope| with ΔEele = 0 (Å−1) |
|---|---|---|
| Only third Gaussian | 0.93 | 1.65 |
| Only second and third Gaussians | 0.81 | 1.65 |
| All three Gaussians | 0.60 | 1.82 |
The first, second, and third Gaussian functions used to fit P(RET) are centered at increasing values of RET (Figures S5 and S6). The calculated magnitudes of the slopes were obtained from the calculated values of ln(kPCET) versus the calculated values using the fitted Gaussian distributions (Table S6).
