The electronic coupling between the initial and final diabatic states is the major factor that determines the rate of electron transfer. A general formula for the adiabatic-to-diabatic mixing angle in terms of the electronic dipole moments is derived within a two-state model. It expresses the electronic coupling determining the rate of electronic transfer in terms of the off-diagonal diabatic dipole moment.
