Norman Sutin, Founding Editor of Comments on Inorganic Chemistry: A Remembrance and Tribute.

Sutin realized that the theories of electron-transfer reactions could be applied to reactions that involve a transfer between two different electronic surfaces such as the transitions between excited states or between different spin states.[[33] In 1974, Sutin turned his attention to applying the techniques he had developed for thermal electron-transfer reactions to excited state reactions of transition metals. Sutin and Marcus developed a deep friendship and a long-term collaboration.[[4]] Sutin quickly used Marcus' early theory of electron transfer reactions to interpret rates he was measuring for inorganic-metal complexes.
