Henry Taube (November 30, 1915 to November 16, 2005) was a Canadian-born American chemist, born in Neudorf, Saskatchewan, who died in Palo Alto, California. He won the 1983 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for working out the mechanisms by which electrons transfer between metal ions in solution, showing that many such reactions proceed through a temporary bridging ligand connecting the two metal centers. Taube carried out this research chiefly at the University of Chicago and Stanford University, and his mechanistic framework became central to the study of inorganic reaction chemistry and, later, to understanding electron transfer in biological systems.
