Correlation between the fluorescence lifetime and the longitudinal dielectric relaxation time, of 6-N-(4-methylphenylamino-2-naphthalene-sulfon-N,N-dimethylamide) (TNSDMA) and 4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMAB) in linear alcohol solvents. The fluorescence signal is used to monitor an electron transfer process that precedes it. The line is drawn with a slope of 1. (From E. M. Kosower and D. Huppert, Ann. Rev. Phys. Chem. 37, 127 (1986))

They have the following characteristics:(1) Pn fluctuates because of thermal motion of solvent nuclei.(2) Pe , as a fast variable, satisfies the equilibrium relationship (3) D = constant (depends on only)Note that the relations E = D-4P; P=Pn + Pe are always satisfied per definition, however D sE. (the latter equality holds only at equilibrium).
We are interested in changes in solvent configuration that take place at constant solute charge distribution

Bridge mediated ET rateBridge mediated ET rateCharge recombination lifetimes in the compounds shown in the inset in dioxane solvent. (J. M. Warman et al, Adv. Chem. Phys. Vol 106, 1999). The process starts with a photoinduced electron transfer – a charge separation process. The lifetimes shown are for the back electron transfer (charge recombination) process.

Steady state evaluation Steady state evaluation of ratesof rates
Rate of water flow depends linearly on water height in the cylinder
Two ways to get the rate of water flowing out:
(1) Measure h(t) and get the rate coefficient from k=(1/h)dh/dt
(1) Keep h constant and measure the steady state outwards water flux J. Get the rate from k=J/h
= Steady state rate
