Abstract

The recombination after flash photolysis of carbon monoxide (CO) to protoheme (PH) in glycerol: water is studied over ten decades in time (1 ps to 10 ms). The rebinding consists of an initial nonexponential geminate phase followed by a slower exponential bimolecular phase. The entire time course of this reaction between 260 and 300 K can be explained in a unified way using a simple, analytically tractable diffusion model involving just three parameters: the relative diffusion constant, the contact radius, and the intrinsic rate of reaction at contact.
