Preferred Label : geminate recombination;
IUPAC definition : This expression refers to the reaction, with each other, of two transient species
produced from a common precursor in solution. If reaction occurs before any separation
by diffusion has occurred, this is termed primary geminate recombination. If the mutually
reactive entities have been separated, and come together by diffusion, this is termed
secondary geminate recombination. This is illustrated in the reaction diagram below:;
