34. It should be noted, however, that our new results are only valid for sufficiently small reorganization energies. The use of Zusman equations beyond the contract approximation should thus be restricted to similar cases. On the other hand, the contact approximation results (Refs. 15 and 18) can be extrapolated onto the case of large reorganization energies. These earlier results are consistent with the detailed balance relation (for nonadiabatic to solvent controlled adiabatic ET) and do not yield such nonphysical features as negative reaction rates.
