Abstract-This review paper reports the data on the role of long range electron tunneling in photosynthetic and model systems. The main papers concerned with elucidation mechanisms and kinetical peculiarities of electron transfer in reaction centers of bacteria and green plants are considered. The paper reviews the articles on long range electron transfer in reactions of metalloporphyrinssynthetic analogs of the main natural pigment of photosynthesis, chlorophyll. Liquid and solid phase redox reactions of electronically excited porphyrin molecules, intramolecular and photosensitized electron transfer processes are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
