Inner sphere complex is a type of surface complex. Formation of inner sphere complexes occurs when ions bind directly to the surface with no intervening water molecules. These types of surface complexes are restricted to ions that have a high affinity for surface sites and include specifically adsorbed ions that can bind to the surface through covalent bonding.

Inner sphere electron transfer — Inner sphere or bonded electron transfer[1] proceeds via a covalent linkage between the two redox partners, the oxidant and the reductant. In Inner Sphere (IS) electron transfer (ET), a ligand bridges the two metal redox centers during the… … Wikipedia
