Electron and Proton Transfer in Chemistry and Biology

TLDR: In this paper, the effect of single electron exchange between main group or transition metal compounds and unsaturated organic substrates is discussed. But the authors focus on the effects of electron transfer on the interaction between the main group and the transition metal components.
