Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including electron correlation, were carried out on the N2 + N2+ electron transfer system. Six geometries of the precursor complex were assumed and their stabilities were calculated and compared. The activation energy, the electronic transmission factor, and the electronic coupling matrix element in the electron transfer process were also calculated. The electronic transmission factor for this system was far less than unity (ca. 0.006~0.09); thus, the electron transfer reaction was considered to be diabatic in nature. Therefore, the electron transfer rate for the selected structures was calculated using semiclassical and quantum-mechanical theories. The calculated values were compared with each other and were in good agreement with the experimental value.Key words: N2 + N2+ electron transfer reaction, semiclassical and quantum-mechanical theories, electronic transmission factor, electronic coupling matrix element, B3LYP.

The accuracy of DFT-based approaches is assessed for calculation of electronic coupling matrix elements for molecular electron transfer. Benchmark ab initio calculations show that they give reliable results for a series of π-conjugated organic molecules, relevant to semiconducting organic materials.
