Abstract
The effect of solvation on ET rate processes has been investigated on the basis of the exact theory constructed in J. Phys. Chem. B 110:11438, 2006. The nature of solvation has been studied in close relation with the mechanism of ET processes. The resulting Kramers' turnover and Marcus' inversion characteristics have been analyzed accordingly. The classical picture of solvation has been found to be invalid when the solvent longitudinal relaxation time is short compared with the inverse temperature.
