Electron transfer through a ligand shared by two metal centres. Bridge formation, electron transfer and bridge cleavage can leave transferred-ligand connectivity in a substitution-inert product.

Inner sphere electron transfer is a mechanism of electron transfer that involves a direct coordinate bond formation between the donor and acceptor species during the transfer process. This type of electron transfer is commonly discussed in the context of inorganic and organometallic chemistry, particularly in redox reactions involving metal complexes.
