Acknowledgement. We thank David Beratan and Jay Winkler for helphil discussions. Our research on electron transfer in proteins is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. NRSA/NIH postdoctoral fellowships were held by M. J. T., J. C, and A. L. R. and a Medical Research Council (Canada) postdoctoral fellowship was held by B. E. B. This is contribution no. 8115 from the Arthur Amos Noyes Laboratory. 

Rudolph A. Marcus is perhaps the most famous theoretician to be raised in Canada. He has received many awards, most notably the 1992 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Marcus was born in Montreal. He received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry from McGill University in 1943, and a Ph.D. degree from the same institution in 1946. After doing postdoctoral research at the National Research Council of Canada and at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, he became a professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn from 1951 to 1964 and at the University of Illinois from 1964 to 1978, when he was named the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry at California Institute of Technology. His seminal contributions to the realms of electron transfer theory and intramolecular dynamics continue to earn him honors, including the 1997 ACS Award in Theoretical Chemistry.

Acknowledgmente. Our research on binuclear complexes has been supported by the Sun Company and by National Science Foundation Grant CHE84-19828. This is contribution no. 7897 from the Arthur Amos Noyes Laboratory. 

The great teachers of chemistry must be mentioned—men like Gilbert Newton Lewis at the University of California, Arthur Amos Noyes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology, Theodore William Richards at Harvard University, who throughout their lives enthusiastically taught the science to their students, and also worked in their laboratories to contribute to its progress.
