The new equations for calculating transition probabilities and rate constants are used to generalize the nonadiabatic statistical theory, which now accounts for both the spin\u2013orbit and Zeeman couplings between electronic states. Focusing on the singlet\u2013triplet transitions, we define two dimensionless parameters to characterize (1) the magnetic field strength relative to the strength of spin\u2013orbit coupling and (2) the relative magnitudes of the spin\u2013orbit coupling matrix elements that couple the singlet state to different components of the triplet state. Based on the values of these dimensionless parameters, we define distinct coupling regimes and propose specific approaches to calculating the transition probabilities and rate constants in these regimes. We apply the introduced theoretical framework to study the effect of an external magnetic field on the kinetics of spin-forbidden isomerization of the Ni(dpp)Cl2 [dpp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane] complex in the strong and weak field regimes. Our calculations predict that in a magnetic field of 50\u00a0T, the isomerization rate constant increases by about 10%. We hope this work will facilitate renewed efforts in controlling spin-dependent chemical reactions with an external magnetic field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0232469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]],"date-time":"2024-10-23T10:53:23Z","timestamp":1729680803000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Predicting kinetics of spin-dependent reactions in an external magnetic field with nonadiabatic statistical theory"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"161","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1746-1092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mitra","family":"Rooein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Nevada, Reno , 1664 N.
