52. The basis set convergence has been tested. In particular, we found that the Ahlrichs-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets agreed within 5% in computing the dipole moments of the water molecules.

56. -11. Therefore, also this more sophisticated statistical approach points to an increase of the EP coupling in the presence of the interfacial water.
57. 2〉 can be read as an estimate of the standard deviation of the corresponding normal distribution. This gives us an ∼66% probability that the presence of interfacial water molecules increases the square electronic coupling between donor and acceptor, and thus the ET kinetics.

64. On the other hand, the analysis in terms of the shape of the overall electrostatic barrier is (also theoretically) complicated by the fact that we are considering a three-dimensional situation.
65. The electrostatic field of the water molecule near the donor Az was reproduced by point RESP charges. These were derived through the NWChem Electrostatic Potential (ESP) module.
