Preferred Label : diabatic electron transfer;
IUPAC definition : electron transfer process in which the reacting system has to cross over between different
electronic surfaces in passing from reactants to products. For diabatic electron transfer
the electronic transmission factor is 1 (see Marcus equation). The term non-adiabatic
electron transfer has also been used and is in fact more widespread, but should be
discouraged because it contains a double negation.;
