Understanding the kinetics of electron transfer reactions involves active research in physics, chemistry, biology, and nano-tech. Here, we propose a model to apply in a broader framework by establishing a connection between thermodynamics and kinetics. From a purely thermodynamic point of view, electronic transfer Marcus’ theory is revisited; consequently, calculations of thermodynamic variables such as mobility, energy, and entropy are provided. More significantly, two different regimes are explicitly established. In the anomalous region, an exergonic process associated with negative heat capacity appears. Further, in the same region, mobility, energy, and entropy decrease when the temperature increases.
