19.1: Intermolecular Electronic Interactions
We present different types of electronic interactions between a donor and acceptor molecule, showing how different electronic energy transfer and electron transfer processes are related.
19.2: Resonance Energy Transfer and Transition Dipole Coupling
We describe the mechanism of electronic energy transfer between donor and acceptor molecules through resonant transition dipole moments
19.3: Förster Resonance Energy Transfer
Förster's theory of resonance energy transfer is described in the framework of transition dipole correlation functions for the donor and acceptor molecules, showing how we obtain the spectral overlap integral and the critical transfer distance.
19.4: Marcus Theory for Electron Transfer
Marcus' classical descriptions of electron transfer is described and the quantum description for nonadiabatic electron transfer is obtained using time-correlation functions for the donor and acceptor electronic states.
19.5: Readings
