29. (a) The vast majority of quantitative electron-transfer studies of inorganic coordination compounds have been carried out with octahedral complexes, especially when compared to those with a lower metal coordination number, such as linear, square planar, square pyramidal, etc. For the necessity of the separate substitution step, see: Kochi, J. K.; Powers. J. W. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1970, 92, 137.
30. (b) We anticipate that inorganic electron-transfer reactions with coordinatively unsaturated metal (coordination) donors and acceptors with square planar coordination, etc., will reveal intermolecular charge-transfer bands.

32. (a) The best organic electron donors and acceptors are generally substitution-stable and contain planar (aromatic and olefinic) redox centers that are sterically favorable for intermolecular π-interactions.
33. (b) By comparison, intermolecular interactions are less favorable with quasi-spherical (octahedral) systems.

89. 23b,43 However, the reported values were generally obtained with ion radicals prepared in situ in various solvents and with different counterions. Accordingly, to exclude solvent and counterion effects, we have remeasured all the rate constants using consistently pure ion-radical salts with bulky counterions in the same noncoordinating solvent, i.e., the moderately polar dichloromethane.

96. SE were somewhat less accurate owing to the more complex hfs patterns with overlapping lines (slow exchange limit). Moreover, the relatively slow second-order rate constants of these closed ion radicals prevented their approach to the fast exchange limit (see details in the Experimental Section).

125. (b) It should be noted that, in Mulliken theory, the charge-transfer transitions in intermolecular complexes are primarily considered in terms of the constituent donor/acceptor redox or ionization potentials, whereas, in Hush theory, the intervalence transition in localized or bridged (intramolecular) mixed-valence complexes are primarily related to the reorganization energies. Since the ion-radical associates of interest in this study are intermolecular mixed-valence complexes, we refer to the NIR optical transitions as charge transfer or intervalence interchangeably to combine both features.

127. -1 leads to a 3-fold increase in rate.
128. (b) We believe that, in Type S systems, the electronic coupling between redox centers in organic donor/acceptor dyads is sufficient for adiabatic electron transfer even for the sterically hindered moieties. Compare: Nelsen, S. F.; Pladziewicz, J. R. Acc. Chem. Res. 2002, 35, 247.

131. As such, the study of OMB provides the direct link between the earlier separate ESR studies of the self-exchange process, on one hand, and the electronic structure of the paramagnetic dimers, on the other hand.

136. For example, inorganic donor/acceptor dyads are metallocentric. and electron transfer is largely directed between single atomic centers. In contrast, organic donor/acceptor dyads involve multiple (carbon) centers, and electron transfer is consequently more diffusive. Moreover, ligands usually play important roles in inorganic (coordination) donors and acceptors, whereas the concept is alien to and essentially undefined in organic donors and acceptors.
137. (a) Under these circumstances, the molecular or atom-bridged activated complex of Taube can be approximated as either a type M or L system in which the bridged is considered virtual, as in the case of a mixed organic/ inorganic (distorted) redox dyad.
