Overview of scientific research
Rudolph A.Marcus
One of the studies of Rudolph A. Marcus is the Marcus theory of electron transfer reaction in chemical system, which almost involves all branches of chemistry related to chemical reaction rate, as well as materials science, molecular devices, life science and other fields, promoting the development of these disciplines.In the research of single molecule reaction, it is an important way to develop the early RRK theory into the RRKM (Rice Ramsperger Kassel Marcus) theory to study high-energy moleculesTheoretical tools.[1]
Academic treatise
Rudolph A.Marcus
Rudolph A. Marcus wrote works including "Electron transfers in chemistry and biology", "On the Theory of Oxidation Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer", "Chemical and Electrochemical Electron Transfer Theory", "Electron transfer reactions in chemistry. Theory and experience"《Charge Transfer on the Nanoscale: Current Status》《Theoretical relations among rate constants, barriers, and Broensted slopes of chemical reactions》《Electrostatic Free Energy and Other Properties of States Having Nonequilibrium Polarization》《Dynamical effects in electron transfer reActions, etc.[16]

In October 2005, Marcus sent a message to the students on the spot during the academic exchange at Wenzhou Medical College: "As a student, don't pay too much attention to the academic achievements now, but enjoy and pay attention to what you learn now, and don't ignore what seems simpleLife phenomenon. "[8]

Rudolph A. Marcus' wife's name is Laura Hearne. They have three sons, Alan, Kenneth and Raymond)。[15]
hobby
In his spare time, Marcus likes to play the piano.There was a time when he spent more time playing the piano than doing research.He also likes history very much. When he studies a subject, he always puts the subject in a specific historical background to study, and first finds out thatHow did the question come into being.[5]

Marcus and former president of China Pharmaceutical University came to Maode to talk
"Marcus made great contributions to the creation and development of the theory of electron transfer reaction in solution."(《Wenzhou Metropolis Daily》Comment)[7]
"Professor Rudolph A. Marcus has made many important contributions to a wide range of fields in theoretical chemical kinetics.”(Wolf FoundationComment)[14]
