A migration is the intramolecular transfer of an atom or group during the course of a molecular rearrangement.
Industry:Software
A bond migration is the movement of a bond to a new position within the same molecular entity during the course of a molecular rearrangement.
Industry:Software
A substitution reaction is a reaction, elementary or stepwise, in which one atom or group in a molecular entity is replaced by another atom or group.
Industry:Software
A metathesis is a bimolecular process formally involving the exchange of a bond (or bonds) between similar interacting chemical species so that the bonding affiliations in the products are identical (or closely similar) to those in the reactants. (This is the definition in physical organic chemistry, requiring only one bond to be exchanged).
Industry:Software
A disproportionation is any chemical reaction of the type A + A → A' + A" where A, A' and A" are different chemical species. The splitting of a chemical compound into two new compounds, one more oxidized and one more reduced than the original compound.
Industry:Software
A radical disproportionation is a special case of disproportionation and is loosely described in organic chemistry as a chemical reaction between two radicals where the main feature is the transfer of one hydrogen atom from one chemical species to another with concomitant formation of an unsaturation in the first chemical species.
Industry:Software
A hydrogen exchange disproportionation is hydrogenation of a molecule by adding hydrogen to an unsaturated bond (making it less unsaturated) by transfer of hydrogen from another hydrocarbon.
Industry:Software
Ligands are atoms or groups bound to a "central atom" in a polyatomic molecular entity. The term is generally used in connection with metallic "central atoms".
Industry:Software
An opposing reaction is a chemical reaction for which the rate of change in a reactant or product involves constants of two "opposed" chemical reactions.
