| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | N.S. Hush is distinguished for his researches in the area of homogeneous and heterogeneous electron transfer. Hush was one of the first to show that electron transfer is adiabatic, or nearly so, and his theory has been experimentally confirmed for electron transfer steps at metallic electrodes. It is now accepted also that the majority of outer sphere electron transfer processes between ions are adiabatic. Hush recognised that electron transfer can occur by either optical or thermal mechanisms and that the corresponding rates are closely connected theoretically; Taube's experimental studies have been underpinned by these theories. Significant experimental studies of mixed valence complexes and, most recently, of long range electron transfer in biological systems demonstrate further the range of innovative contributions which Hush has made to Chemical Physics. |
