  "term": "Geminate pair",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A pair of reactive species, such as radicals or ions, that are formed simultaneously in close proximity within a solvent cage. These species have a higher probability of reacting with each other than with other species in the bulk solution. The recombination of a geminate pair is often referred to as geminate recombination.",
