Term
| Ligand addition and dissociation |
|
Definition
| In an addition, the total electron count of the metal increases by 2, but the d electron count and the oxidation state do not change |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the total electron count doesn't change, and its oxidation state decreases by 2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| gives a metal hydride in a higher oxidation state |
|
|
Term
| oxidative addition of a metal |
|
Definition
| the metal inserts itself into an X-Y bond, the X-Y bond is broken and M-X and M-Y bonds are formed. the metal's oxidative state increases by 2, its d electron count decreases by 2 and its total electron count increases by 2, becomes less electron-deficient |

Term
| oxidative addition of a metal |
|
Definition
| the metal inserts itself into an X-Y bond, the X-Y bond is broken and M-X and M-Y bonds are formed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| X-M-Y becomes M + X-Y, X Y are adjacent and the total electron count decreases, oxidation state decreases, but an increase in the d electron count |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| M-X + A=B becomes M-A-B-X. no change in oxidation state, d electron count or total electron count |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| M-A-B-H becomes M-H + A=B |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| M-A-B-H becomes M-H + A=B |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
| sigma-bond metathesis reactions |
|
Definition
