Electron transfer rate on mixed valence states of Class II/III transition for N,N′-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine structures as a polyaniline unit

The first example of the determination of the electron transfer rate (λ, V, ΔG*, kth) for N,N′-diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine derivatives using the Marcus–Hush theory is described. These results were in good agreement with the ones obtained using variable-temperature IR spectra measurements.
