Marcus Theory: Reorganization Energy

This lecture covers the Marcus Theory, focusing on the concept of reorganization energy in electrochemical reactions. The reorganization energy is defined as the energy difference between the product and reactant states when the solvent coordinate remains the same. It explores how the curvature of parabolas affects the work needed for distortion. Practical applications are discussed through assignments involving potential-current plots, overpotential calculations, and electrochemical cell operations.
