geminate recombination

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.G02603
This expression refers to the reaction, with each other, of two @T06451@ produced from a common precursor in solution. If reaction occurs before any separation by @D01716@ has occurred, this is termed primary geminate recombination. If the mutually reactive entities have been separated, and come together by @D01716@, this is termed secondary geminate recombination. This is illustrated in the reaction diagram below:
