Is samarium diiodide an inner- or outer-sphere electron donating agent?

Abstract
From the measured value of E° (SmI2 +–SmI2) in THF and using free energy plots, the electron transfer between samarium diiodide and acetophenone was shown to be clearly of inner-sphere nature; on the other hand, with benzyl bromide it is closer to an outer-sphere process.
