From Wikipedia,

Inner sphere electron
transfer is a specific type of
electron transfer reaction
(ET) in which a common
ligand bridges the two metal
redox centers during the
electron transfer event. The
main proponent of the inner sphere
ET was Henry Taube (Stanford), who
won the
Nobel Prize in 1983 for his
concerning this topic. The Nobel
Prize reaction was carried out in
1953, and involves a Cr(II) to
Co(III) ET reaction.
