Preferred Label : atom–molecule complex mechanism;
IUPAC definition : A mechanism that sometimes applies to the combination of atoms, but rarely of free
radicals. In this mechanism the atom A first combines with a third body or chaperon,
and the complex AM then forms A sub 2 /sub M by collision with another atom A.
br/ Contrast the energy-transfer mechanism.;
