Abstract
The predictions of several modern theories for the kinetics of the excited-state diffusion-influenced association-dissociation reaction were compared. The theories included, multiparticle kernel decoupling approximations, relaxation time approximation (RTA) and the kinetic theory. It was shown that in the irreversible limit, none of these theories reduce to the Smoluchowski result. The modification of RTA, so that the resulting formalism does reduce correctly in the irreversible limit for the pseudo-first-order target problem was shown.
