Conclusions
-
1.
Kinetic equations have been obtained for electron-transfer tunnel reactions in the presence of an external electric field.
-
2.
Experimental literature data on the effect of the electric field on the kinetics of tunnel destruction of trapped electrons through counterion reactions in photoexcited 3-methylpentane containing added tetramethyl-paraphenylenediamine have been analyzed and the spatial distribution of the reacting particles reconstructed.
