{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008417",
  "term": "Π-adduct",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A species formed by the association of an electrophile or nucleophile with the pi (π) electron system of an unsaturated molecule. This interaction involves the donation or acceptance of electrons from the π-system, leading to a temporary or stable complex. Such adducts are intermediates in many organic reactions, particularly electrophilic aromatic substitution and cycloaddition reactions.",
