Professor Henry Taube, Ph.D, M.Sc, B.Sc, FRSC (November 30, 1915 – November 16, 2005) was a Canadian-born American chemist noted for having been awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "his work in the mechanisms of electron-transfer reactions, especially in metal complexes," otherwise referred to as inner-sphere electron transfer.
Taube was born in Neudorf, Saskatchewan and attended high school at Luther College in Regina.
He received his B.Sc and M.Sc from the University of Saskatchewan in 1935 and 1937 respectively.

Henry Taube was born in 1915 in Canada, into a poor immigrant family from Russia, but of German origin.
Henry's first direction of study was the Lutheran ministry, but at the University of Saskatchewan he received a B.S. in Chemistry in 1935, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Berkeley in 1940.
Henry's research interests were in both inorganic and organic chemistry: he established the foundations of oxidation - reduction reactions for both electron and atom transfer reactions.

Taube showed that electrons could not simply jump from one molecule to another but had to be transferred over a temporary ''bridge" connecting the two reaction centers.

But Taube is best known for research on the mechanisms of oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, and for distinguishing "inner-sphere" reactions that involve atom or group transfer from "outer-sphere" reactions, which leave the coordination spheres of the partners intact.
Taube was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and received his undergraduate and master's degrees at its university.
Taube became a U.S. citizen and served on the faculties of Cornell (1941-6), Chicago (1946-61) and Stanford (1961-on).

Taube was educated at the University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon and the University of California, Berkeley.
In the late 1940s Taube carried out experiments with isotopes to show that in water solution the ions of metals form chemical bonds with several molecules of water and that the stability and geometric arrangement of the resulting hydrates, or coordination compounds, vary widely, depending on the identity and oxidation state of the ion.
Taube showed that, in an intermediate stage of the reaction, a chemical bond must form between one of the ions and a ligand that is still bonded to the other.

 Henry Taube, recipient of Nobel Prize in chemistry, dead at 89
Taube expressed his love of research in a 1996 interview: "It's a very exciting time in chemistry, particularly with the advances which are being made in understanding the complex molecules involved in the chemistry of life, the application of this knowledge to the art of healing—now becoming the science of healing—it's absolutely incredible.
Taube maintained a lifelong interest in oxidation-reduction or "redox" reactions, in which electrons are lost and gained during a chemical reaction.
Taube is survived by Mary Taube, his wife of 53 years, of Stanford, Calif.; sons Karl Taube of Riverside, Calif., and Heinrich Taube of Chicago; a daughter, Linda Taube of Galway, Ireland; and five grandchildren.
