— This review paper reports the data on the role of long range electron tunneling in photosynthetic and model systems. The main papers concerned with elucidation mechanisms and kinetical peculiarities of electron transfer in reaction centers of bacteria and green plants are considered. The paper reviews the articles on long range electron transfer in reactions of metalloporphyrins—synthetic analogs of the main natural pigment of photosynthesis, chlorophyll. Liquid and solid phase redox reactions of electronically excited porphyrin molecules, intramolecular and photosensitized electron transfer processes are considered.
