Standard enthalpy (ΔrH0), Gibbs free energy (ΔrG0), reorganization energy (λ), Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG, kcal mol−1), diffusion rate constant (kD, M−1 s−1), TST thermal rate constant (kT, M−1 s−1), and diffusion-corrected apparent rate constants (kapp, M−1 s−1) calculated at 298.15 K for the redox reaction between the superoxide anion (O2˙) and the iron complexes in water.
