Preferred Label : proton transfer reaction;
IUPAC definition : A chemical reaction, the main feature of which is the intermolecular or intramolecular
transfer of a proton (hydron) from one binding site to another. For example: In the
detailed description of proton transfer reactions, especially of rapid proton transfers
between electronegative atoms, it should always be specified whether the term is used
to refer to the overall process (including the more-or-less encounter-controlled formation
of a hydrogen bonded complex and the separation of the products; see microscopic diffusion
control) or just to the proton transfer event (including solvent rearrangement) by
itself.;
