Efficient electron transfer across hydrogen bond interfaces by proton-coupled and -uncoupled pathways

Thermal electron transfer across hydrogen bond remains largely unexplored. Here the authors demonstrate that electron self-exchange through hydrogen bonds is highly efficient and can proceed either via the known proton-coupled pathway or an overlooked proton-uncoupled pathway
