HETEROLYSIS [3 records]

Record 1 2002-09-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrochemistry
DEF

The cleavage of a bond so that both bonding electrons remain with one of the two fragments between which the bond is broken ...

OBS

Heterolysis of a bond(not forming part of a ring) in the unimolecular reaction of an electrically neutral molecular entity results in the formation of two oppositely charged ions...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrochimie
DEF

Coupure d'une liaison entre deux fragments dont l'un conserve la totalité du doublet électronique. [...]

OBS

Lorsqu'elle intervient au cours de la réaction unimoléculaire d'une entité moléculaire neutre [...] l'hétérolyse d'une liaison (non incluse dans un cycle) conduit à deux ions de charges opposées.

Record 3 1997-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

The formation of a covalent bond, the two shared electrons of which have come from only one of the two parts of the molecular entity linked by it, as in the reaction between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct;... it is the reverse of unimolecular heterolysis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

La formation d'une liaison covalente dans laquelle les deux électrons partagés proviennent d'une seule des deux parties liées dans l'entité moléculaire; par exemple, une réaction entre un acide de Lewis et une base de Lewis qui donne lieu à la formation d'un adduit de Lewis. [...] il s'agit de l'inverse d'une hétérolyse unimoléculaire.
