Preferred Label : oxidative addition;
IUPAC definition : The insertion of a metal complex into a covalent bond involving formally an overall
two-electron loss on one metal or a one-electron loss on each of two metals, i.e.
\[{L}_{n}{M} {m} {XY}\rightarrow {L}_{n}{M} {m 2}\left({X}\right)\left({Y}\right)\]
or \[2{L}_{n}{M} {m} {XY}\rightarrow {L}_{n}{M} {m 1}\left({X}\right) {L}_{n}{M} {m
1}\left({Y}\right)\] In radical chemistry, the term is used to indicate a radical
addition to a carbon–carbon double bond, under oxidative conditions. For example:;
