heterolytic dissociative adsorption

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.H02811
Relates in the usual sense to the formal nature of the cleavage of a single bond. If in the bond of the adsorptive $\ce{A:B}$, $\ce{A}$ or $\ce{B}$ retains the electron pair, the adsorption is heterolytic dissociative adsorption.
