Redox Reaction Mechanism Analysis
Redox reaction mechanism analysis is the systematic study of electron transfer pathways in oxidation-reduction reactions. Formalized by Rudolph Marcus in the 1950s (earning him the Nobel Prize in 1992), this framework explains how electrons move between reactants, what factors control reaction rates, and how electronic and geometric factors influence the ease of electron transfer.
