Mass spectra were acquired on Bruker esquire 3000 plus and Bruker maxis 4G QTOF EDI spectrometers. Ms. Sylvie Mittelheisser (Department of Chemistry at University of Basel) conducted elemental analyses on a Vario Micro Cube instrument. A Versastat3-200 potentiostat from Princeton Applied Research was employed for cyclic voltammetry. A glassy carbon disk electrode served as a working electrode, the counter electrode was a silver wire, and the reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The solvent was 1:1 (v:v) CH3CN / H2O containing 0.1 KCl as an electrolyte. Potential sweeps rates were 0.1 V/s. Typical sample concentrations were 1 mm. Optical absorption spectroscopy was performed using a Cary 5000 instrument from Varian. For spectroelectrochemistry, a Pt grid electrode in a suitable quartz cuvette was used. The Pt grid electrode was connected to the abovementioned potentiostat. For oxidative spectro-electrochemistry, a potential of 0.8 V vs. SCE was applied. Reductive spectro-electrochemistry was performed while applying a potential of -0.9 V vs. SCE. An LP920-KS instrument from Edinburgh Instruments was used for transient absorption spectroscopy. The frequencydoubled output of a Quantel Brilliant b laser served as an excitation source. The laser pulse duration was 10 ns and the pulse frequency was 10 Hz. The typical pulse energy used for transient absorption studies was 15 mj. Detection of transient absorption spectra occurred on an iccd camera from Andor. Single-wavelength kinetics were recorded using a photomultiplier tube. All optical spectroscopic experiments were performed under deaerated conditions using quartz cuvettes in which oxygen can be removed by the freeze-pump-thaw technique. Transient absorption spectra in the NIR spectral range (for compounds Ic IIIc) were recorded using the data slicing mode and the NIR 301/2 detector from Edinburgh Instruments. S12

22 Figure S8. Arrhenius plots for thermal electron transfer from AQ - to TAA + in the 3 triad series in deaerated 1:1 (v:v) CH3CN / H2O based on the data in Tables S1 S3. (a) Ia, (b) IIa, (c) IIIa, (d) Ib, (e) IIb, (f) IIIb, (g) Ic, (h) IIc, (i) IIIc. S22
23 Absorption of AQ - in 1:1 (v:v) CH3CN / H2O vs. neat CH3CN Figure S9. Transient absorption spectra for Ia IIIa in 1:1 (v:v) CH3CN / H2O (solid traces, left y-axes) and in neat CH3CN (dashed traces, right y-axes) obtained after excitation at 532 nm with laser pulses of 10 ns duration. All spectra were recorded by time-integration over an interval of 200 ns, using delay times as follows: (a) no delay; (b) no delay for solid trace, 100 ns for dashed trace; (c) 3 s for solid trace, 2 s for dashed trace. S23
24 Determination of electronic coupling matrix elements (HDA) Figure S10. Plots of ln(ket T 1/2 ) versus 1/T for the 9 triads in 1:1 (v:v) CH3CN / H2O based on the data from Tables S1 S3. (a) Ia IIIa; (b) Ib IIIb; (c) Ic IIIc. Red symbols: triads with n = 1; blue symbols: triads with n = 2; green symbols: triads with n = 3. The HDA values reported in Table 4 of the main paper were determined from the intercepts of linear regression fits to these plots. 5 S24
25 Reactant and product potential energy wells Figure S11. Reactant (black) and product (red) potential energy wells illustrating the changeover from inverted (left) to activationless (middle) to normal (right) electron transfer as a function of distance (rda) between AQ - and TAA + in compounds Ib, IIb, and IIIb. The driving-force ( GET 0 ) stays nearly constant (Table 1 of the main paper), and the changeover is essentially due to increasing reorganization energy ( ) with increasing rda (Table 3 of the main paper). The lower half of the figure shows zooms of the key regions from the upper half. S25
