= Adiabatic electron transfer
{wiki=Adiabatic_electron_transfer}
Adiabatic electron transfer refers to a type of electron transfer process that occurs without any significant change in the nuclear configuration of the molecules involved during the transfer. In this process, the electronic transition occurs such that the system remains in a single quantum state throughout the reaction, meaning that the system evolves smoothly and continuously without crossing any energy barriers that would require significant nuclear motion to follow.
