From: Evidence for single metal two electron oxidative addition and reductive elimination at uranium
Principal types of oxidative addition reaction observed with d-block metals. a Two single-electron oxidations of an A–B bond of a substrate at either two transition metal centres (M) or a binuclear complex resulting in changes of +1 to the oxidation state (OS), valence electron (VE) and coordination number (CN) of the metals and a reduction of d-electrons by one. b Classical two-electron oxidative addition, the reverse of which is reductive elimination, of an A–B bond with a single transition metal centre, resulting in changes of +2 to the metal OS, VE, CN, and a reduction of d-electrons by two
