Kinetic measurement by the pulse radiolysis method was carried out for electron transfers from neutral donors of amines and aromatic hydrocarbons to radiation-induced cationic acceptors, trapped holes and solute cations, in sec-butyl chloride glasses at 77 K. The decay of the cationic acceptor was monitored over 3 ..mu..s-8 s. Franck-Condon factors calculated from the decay curves increase with -..delta..G, the free-energy difference in a donor-acceptor system, in the region of -..delta..G < 0.8 eV and then become almost constant up to -..delta..G approx. = 3 eV.
