catalytic chain termination

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08940
Chain termination process involving transfer of a group to a reagent (the catalyst) that in turn transfers that group to a propagating species to terminate a chain and regenerate the original reagent.
Note:
Catalytic chain termination may be observed as a side reaction in certain reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations.
