Bond cleavage is also possible by a process called heterolysis.

In heterolysis additional energy is required to separate the ion pair.

Fragmentation of a molecule can take place by a process of heterolysis or homolysis.

Asymmetrical scission of a bond is called heterolysis.

The excess acid likely deactivates the hydrogen peroxide formed in C-O heterolysis.

Heterolysis (disambiguation)

In biology, heterolysis refers to apoptosis induced by hydrolytic enzymes from surrounding (usually inflammatory) cells.

Instead the boryl compound is prepared by reductive heterolysis of a boron-bromide bond by lithium metal.

In this case, the slowest (thus rate-determining step) is the heterolysis of a carbon-halogen bond to give a carbocation and the halide anion.

In heterolytic cleavage, or heterolysis, the bond breaks in such a fashion that the shared pair of electrons remain with one of the fragments.

This pathway involves bond homolysis or bond heterolysis, in which the fragments do not have enough kinetic energy to separate and, instead, reaction with one another like an ion-molecule reaction.

Alternatively, the case where both electrons are retained by one product and charged species that is nucleophile and electrophile are generated by the process is known as heterolytic fission and (heterolysis).
