Electron Transfer Kinetic and Quantitative Structural Relationship Studies ofCn@ [Mb]Nanostructur Complexes

The number of carbon atoms in the fullerenes was used as an index to establish a relationship between the structures of Myoglobin (Mb) as the most well-known muscle molecular systems and fullerenes Cn (n=60, 70, 76, 82 and 86).The Calculations for the first oxidation potentials (Ox.E1) of fullerenes Cn and the first free-energies of electron transfer (DGet(1)) of supramolecular complexes for C60 to C300were done. These were used to calculate the first free activation energies of electron transfer and kinetic rate constants of the electron transfers, DGet(1) # and ket, inaccordance with the Marcus theory
