abstract = "The aim of this study is to suggest a novel approach for estimating the intramolecular mobility of a charge carrier that migrates within a polymer chain and is involved in a pair reaction with a particle located on the same chain. The approach is based on the effect of an external electric field on the migration rate and, consequently, the kinetics of the reaction. As a first step, this problem is considered a stochastic one-step process with absorbing and reflecting boundaries, and an analytical solution is obtained in the case that the second reactant is immobile. With the use of computer simulations of stochastic migration, the effect of the mobility of both reactants and the influence of the Coulomb interaction between them are considered. It is found that the ratio of the pair reaction rates with and without an external field is relatively little dependent on these factors and that the analytical expressions derived can be applied to estimate the relative mobility of recombining particles with accuracy better than a factor of two in many realistic situations.",
