Chemical kinetics

a reaction pathway in which a fragment wanders at long range near the dissociation limit before abstracting another atom, bypassing the conventional transition state.

In chemical kinetics, roaming mechanism refers to a reaction pathway in which a fragment wanders at long range near the dissociation limit before abstracting another atom, bypassing the conventional transition state. This meaning comes from Townsend (2004) in Science.[1]
