Abstract: We studied the self-exchange electron transfer reaction between 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone and its radical anion, on the basis of the non-equilibrium solvation theory in virtue of a constrained equilibrium state. Two different conformations of the parallel donor-acceptor complexes were considered. Using the new non-equilibrium solvation model combined with the linear reaction coordinate, we calculated the solvent reorganization energy in different solvents. The electronic coupling are obtained through the two-state model. The self-exchange electron transfer reaction rate constants in different solvents were calcu-lated and the results correlate well with the experimental values.
