71. The reorganization energy (λ) for self-exchange corresponds to the sum of the geometry relaxation energies upon going from the neutral-state geometry to the charged-state geometry and vice versa. These two portions of λ are typically nearly identical, see: Malagoli, M.; Brédas. J.-L. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2000, 327, 13.
