Outer-sphere electron transfer ATRP

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008371",
  "term": "Outer-sphere electron transfer ATRP",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mechanism in atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) where electron transfer between the dormant species and the catalyst occurs without direct bond formation between them. The electron transfer happens through space, often facilitated by solvent molecules or ligands. This contrasts with inner-sphere electron transfer, where a direct bond is formed during the electron transfer step.",
