Rudolph Arthur Marcus (born July 21, 1923) is a Canadian-American chemist. He earned a in 1943 and a in 1946, both from McGill University. After graduating, in 1946, he worked at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. In 1952, at the University of North Carolina, he developed Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory by combining RRK theory with transition state theory. In 1958, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He received the 1992 the Noble Prize for Chemistry "for his contributions to the theory of electron transfer reactions in chemical systems". Marcus theory, named after him, provides a thermodynamic and kinetic framework for describing one electron outer-sphere electron transfer. He is a professor at Caltech and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
