40. As noted above, the coupling across the bridge of 1 is presumed to be solvent independent. Thus, only the FCWDS vary with solvent.
41. Including all solvents, the calculated FCWDS ratio is 0.085 ± 0.034.

44. ref of this magnitude are certainly possible given the presence of electrolyte in the redox measurements.
45. 2 was 4.2-fold larger than that obtained in the present analysis. At this point, it is not possible to determine if the larger disparity arises from errors in the parameters used to determine FCWDS(T) or from a stronger temperature dependence of |V| in this solvent.

47. Solvent refractive index may also contribute to Δ as the solvent electronic polarizability also solvates the superexchange state.

63. CC in 2 could vary with solvent polarity and influence its electron-transfer kinetics. The extent of this Coulomb driven reduction of the D/A separation, if it occurs in solution, should be largest in solvents with the smallest dielectric constants. The observed variation of |V(2)| is not correlated with dielectric constant.
