Abstract
The rate constants of diffusion-control1ed reactions are calculated for different fractal geometries of the trajectories of the reacting particles. This leads to rate constants, which are smaller than predicted by Smoluchowski’s classical equation, if reacting particles and solvent molecules are of similar size. The theory is extended to reactions in fractal media.
