The electronic excitations of a metal form a continuum and a careful study of their role in the dynamics of electrochemical electron transfer reactions is needed. We suggest a method for accounting for these non~adiabaticity effects. It approximates the electronic excitations as bosons and makes use of quantum transition state theory to calculate the rate of the reaction.
