transient phase (induction period)

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06450
This expression relates to the period of time that elapses prior to the establishment of a @S05962@. Initially the concentration of a reactive intermediate is zero, and it rises to the steady-state concentration during the transient phase.
