Abstract
We have formulated a theory for describing the time-dependent rate of the photolytic radical recombination reaction occuring in a viscous medium. The recombination after flash photolysis consists of an initial geminate-pair recombination phase followed by a slower bulk recombination phase in which radicals from different parent molecules encounter via diffusion and combine. In most theories of photolytic radical recombination reactions, however, only the dynamics of a single geminate pair was considered and the intervention of surrounding radicals in the geminate pair dynamics was neglected. The present theory treats the interplay of the geminate-pair and the bulk recombinations within a unified framework. Numerical calculations show that prediction of the present theory differs significantly from that of conventional theories.
