36. The use of free energies makes sense only for processes characterized by a transient temperature. Such condition, however, is not fulfilled during most ultrafast processes. Thus, the free energy concept is valid only for the initial (solvation coordinate q = 0) and the equilibrated emitting (q = 1) state.
