charge-transfer adsorption

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01002
Oxidative or reductive chemisorption where 'reductive' and 'oxidative' refer to electron gain or loss on species in the solid. In simple cases it is non-dissociative, i.e. there is a mere transfer of charge between adsorptive and adsorbent in forming the adsorbate.
