The Gibbs energy of activation ([Delta][double dagger]G) in the limiting case where [Delta]Go = 0, 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, [lambda], of the reaction by the equation

[Delta][double dagger]G = [lambda]/4
