  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008394",
  "term": "Oxidative coupling",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction where two molecular entities are joined together through the formation of a new bond, with the concomitant loss of electrons from one or both of the reacting species. This process often involves a metal catalyst and results in an increase in the oxidation state of the coupled product. An example is the Glaser coupling of terminal alkynes.",
