intrinsic barrier

The Gibbs energy of activation ( $Math - text$ ) in the limiting case where $Math - ei$ , i.e. when the effect of thermodynamic driving force is eliminated. According to the Marcus equation, the intrinsic barrier is related to the reorganization energy, $Math - text$ , of the reaction by the equation:

$Math - e$
