“…The nature of the activation step in electrochemical proton transfer was taken up by Levich et M. (26,27) in various papers. These authors pointed out that there would be a "double-adiabatic" adjustment of charge in the activation process associated with electron and with proton transfer, subject to quantitatively different quantum restrictions.…”

“…Further problems have been found for strongly exothermic ET processes, for which predicted rates are many orders of magnitude slower than the observed ones . There are several outstanding works which have extended Marcus’ theory to include quantum effects due to high frequency modes, − but, to the best of our knowledge, the task of including the whole heat bath provided by intramolecular coordinates of the redox pair, which was revealed to be crucial for reproducing the unusual temperature dependence of ET from bacteriopheophytin anions to primary ubiquinone in bacterial reaction centers, − has not been undertaken yet for systems in which polar solvents are expected to play a significant role.…”

A multistep kinetic model in which solvent motion is treated in the framework of Marcus theory and the rates of the elementary electron transfer step are evaluated at full quantum mechanical level is proposed and applied to the calculation of the rates of intramolecular electron transfer reactions in rigidly spaced D–Br–A (D = 1,1′-biphenyl radical anion, Br = androstane) compounds, for five acceptors (A) in three organic solvents with different polarity. The calculated rates agree well with experimental ones, and their temperature dependence is almost quantitatively reproduced.

Economic Models and Historical Explanation

In investigating their models, economists do not appear to engage much in the activities many philosophers take to be essential to scientific understanding of the world, activities such as testing hypotheses and establishing laws. How, then, can economic models explain anything about the real world? Borrowing from William Dray, an explanation of what something really is, as opposed to an explanation of why something happens, is the subsumption of the explanandum under a suitable concept. One way economic models explain real-world phenomena is by providing explanations-what of such phenomena. In this way, economic models can afford explanations of the world without necessarily involving the activities philosophers take to be integral to scientific understanding of the world, for explanations-what do not necessarily involve the activities in question.
