Assisted Homolysis
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
An assisted homolysis is a homolysis, caused by a free radical. Since an assisted homolysis is always accompanied by the formation of a bond, an assisted homolysis may be exothermic or endothermic.
eg. 1:
eg. 2:
Standard enthalpy of an assisted homolysis = BDE (bond broken) — BDE (bond formed)
BDE: bond dissociation energy
