Abstract
The geminate recombination of two spherical molecules caused by rotational diffusion has been analysed. When only one molecule is free to diffuse the pair survival probability can be obtained analytically, but when both molecules diffuse a Monte Carlo method had to be used. The similarity of the decay of the pair survival probability with experimental data indicates that rotational diffusion is a feasible mechanism for fast geminate recombination. The anisotropy decay of the geminate pair is also calculated. © 1992.
