J is the normalized spectral overlap integral, where normalized meansthat both the emission intensity (ID) and extinction coefficient (A) havebeen adjusted to unit area on the wavenumber scale. It is importantthat J, by being normalized does not depend on the actual magnitude ofA.

Differences between Förster (dipole-dipole interaction) and Dexter (electron exchange) energy transfer processes
• The rate of dipole-induced energy transfer decreases as R–6 whereas the rate of exchange-induced transfer decreases as exp–(2r/L). g p ( )Quantitatively, this means that kET(exchange) drops to negligibly small values (relative to the donor lifetime) as the intermolecular (edge-to-edge) distance increases more than on the order of one or two molecular diameters (5-10Å)
• The rate of dipole-induced transfer (Forster ET) depends on the ill t t th f th *D D d A *A di ti t iti b toscillator strength of the *D D and A *A radiative transitions, but
the rate of the exchange-induced transfer is independent of the oscillator strength of the *D D and A *A transitionsoscillator strength of the D D and A A transitions

Distance dependence, when it can be measured accurately, is a basis for distinguishingenergy transfer that occurs by dipole–dipole interactions from electron exchangeinteractions, since the latter generally falls off exponentially g y p ywith the separation RDA

Experimental conditions to observe the Marcus “inverted region”?
For most donor acceptor (DA) systems the inverted region is For most donor-acceptor (DA) systems the inverted region is obscured by the diffusion limit.
This can be circumvented by:This can be circumvented by: freezing the donor-acceptor distribution (glassy medium) covalently linking the donor and the acceptor covalently linking the donor and the acceptor lowering the donor-acceptor interaction (electronic coupling V)
so that the maximum rate for -G0 = is lower than the so that the maximum rate for G = is lower than the diffusion limit.
