Oxidative additionOrganometallic compound

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Oxidative addition transforms an organometallic complex by adding two ligand fragments and formally increasing coordination number and metal oxidation state, subject to mechanism and electron-count conventions.

How to interpret this relation type

A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.

Oxidative additionReaction mechanism

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Oxidative addition is one elementary organometallic step that must be embedded in a balanced catalytic mechanism.

How to interpret this relation type

The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
