  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001727",
  "term": "Catalytic hydrogenolysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction where a chemical bond is cleaved by hydrogen, with the assistance of a catalyst. This process typically involves the breaking of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds, leading to the formation of new carbon-hydrogen bonds. Palladium, platinum, and nickel are common catalysts used in hydrogenolysis reactions.",
