The fluorescence quenching by electron transfer of a fluorophore, 2,5-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3-benzenedi-carbonitrile, to 1,3-dimethyl-2-nitro-benzene, has been studied by means of time-resolved and steady-state experiments at different viscosities and up to large quencher concentrations. Differential Encounter Theory (DET) has been used to rationalize the results, in combination with electron transfer modelled by the Marcus theory. Additionally, the solvent structure and the hydrodynamic effect on the diffusion coefficient have been taken into account. Any simpler model failed to simultaneously fit all the results. The large number of quencher concentrations used is crucial to unambiguously extract the electron transfer parameters.
