- The @[email protected] cleavage of a molecule according to the general reaction: F02506-1.pngwhere a-b is an @[email protected] and X is a @[email protected] (which may emerge from the reaction in combined form), and the middle group affords the unsaturated fragment c=d. For example,F02506-2.png
- The breakdown of a @[email protected] into a @[email protected] molecule or ion and a smaller radical, e.g. F02506-3.pngF02506-4.png
- The breakdown of a @[email protected] in a @[email protected] or in solution, forming an ion of lower molar mass and a radical, e.g. F02506-5.png
