3. In an outer sphere electron transfer either no bonds are formed or cleaved on the timescale of the experiment or this happens in an elementary step separate from the ET [5, 23]. The inner sphere case, on the other hand, describes an elementary step corresponding to an ET with a concerted change in bonding.
