Charge-localized naphthalene-bridged bis-hydrazine radical cations

The electron transfer (ET) in four symmetrically substituted naphthalene-bridged bis-hydrazine radical cations is compared within the Marcus-Hush framework. The results show that ET rates estimated for four naphthalene bridged bis-hydrazine radical cations vary significantly and show no correlation with the distance between the charge-bearing units.
