  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005885",
  "term": "Inner-sphere electron transfer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electron transfer process between two metal centers where the reactants share a common bridging ligand in their coordination spheres. This bridging ligand facilitates the transfer of an electron from one metal to the other. The mechanism involves the formation of a transient binuclear complex.",
