IUPAC definition : The assembling of separate molecular entities into any aggregate, especially of oppositely
charged free ions into ion pairs or larger and not necessarily well-defined clusters
of ions held together by electrostatic attraction. The term signifies the reverse
of dissociation, but is not commonly used for the formation of definite adducts by
colligation or coordination.;
