  "term": "Hole transfer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The movement of a positive charge (a 'hole') from one molecular entity to another, often occurring in conjugated systems or semiconductors. This process involves the transfer of an electron from a filled orbital of one species to an electron-deficient orbital of another. It is a fundamental process in many photochemical and electrochemical reactions.",
