Abstract excerpt

Long-range electron transfer investigations of hemoproteins, blue copper and iron-sulphur proteins frequently rest on electronically excited metal centres. When the excitation energy approaches the oxidation or reduction potentials of intermediate residues the superexchange view normally used, ho...
