Effect of External Electric Fields in the Charge Transfer Rates of Donor-Acceptor Dyads: A Straightforward Computational Evaluation

We present a straightforward and low-cost computational protocol to estimate the variation of the charge transfer rate constant, kCT, in a molecular donor-acceptor caused by external electric field. The proposed protocol allows also to determine the strength and direction of the field that maximizes...
