Coupling reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002650",
  "term": "Coupling reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction that joins two molecular fragments, often through the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond, to create a larger molecule. In polymer chemistry, this can refer to reactions that link polymer chains or monomers to form longer chains or networks. Many coupling reactions are catalyzed by transition metals.",
