Here, Tjk is the dipole–dipole <strong>in</strong>teraction tensor, and ~T jk ¼ Tjkð1 djkÞ; U rep<br />

adiabatic gas-phase energy gap (Eq. [29]).<br />

The statistical average over the electronic degrees of freedom <strong>in</strong> Eq. [15]<br />

is equivalent, <strong>in</strong> the Drude model, to <strong>in</strong>tegration over the <strong>in</strong>duced dipole<br />

moments p0 and pj. The Hamiltonian Hi is quadratic <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>duced dipoles,<br />

and the trace can be calculated exactly as a functional <strong>in</strong>tegral over the<br />

fluctuat<strong>in</strong>g fields p0 and pj. 39,67 The result<strong>in</strong>g solute–solvent <strong>in</strong>teraction energy<br />

Here, Rp is the reaction field of the solvent nuclear subsystem, and the factor<br />

describes an enhancement of the condensed-phase solute dipole and polarizability<br />

by the self-consistent field of the electronic polarization of the solvent.<br />

For the statistical average over the nuclear configurations, generat<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

distribution over the solute energy gaps (Eq. [<strong>18</strong>]), one needs to specify the<br />

fluctuation statistics of the nuclear reaction field Rp. A Gaussian statistics of<br />

the field fluctuations 35 implies us<strong>in</strong>g the distribution function<br />

where ap is the response coefficient of the nuclear solvent response. Comb<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

with the Gaussian function PðRpÞ, Eq. [89] is essentially equivalent to the Q<br />

model (Eq. [65]). The vector of the nuclear reaction field plays the role of the<br />

nuclear collective mode driv<strong>in</strong>g activated transitions (q). One can then directly<br />

employ the results of the Q model to produce the diabatic free energy surfaces<br />

of polarizable donor–acceptor complexes or to calculate the spectroscopic<br />

observables.<br />

The reorganization energies follow from Eq. [71] and take the follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
