In this paper, we extend the previously described general model for charge transfer reactions, introducing specific changes to treat the hopping between energy minima of the electronic ground state (i.e., transitions between the corresponding vibrational ground states). We applied the theoretical-computational model to the charge transfer reactions in DNA molecules which still represent a challenge for a rational full understanding of their mechanism. Results show that the presented model can provide a valid, relatively simple, approach to quantitatively study such reactions shedding light on several important aspects of the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
In this paper, we extend the previously described general model for charge transfer reactions, introducing specific changes to treat the hopping between energy minima of the electronic ground state (i.e., transitions between the corresponding vibrational ground states). We applied the theoretical-computational model to the charge transfer reactions in DNA molecules which still represent a challenge for a rational full understanding of their mechanism. Results show that the presented model can provide a valid, relatively simple, approach to quantitatively study such reactions shedding light on several important aspects of the reaction mechanism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
