DRAFT DEFINITION
Charge remote fragmentation

A fragmentation of an even-electron ion in which the bond to be cleaved lies remote from the apparent charge site. Particularly this fragmentation often occurs in a high-energy collision-induced dissociation process. This term is opposed to the term charge-mediated fragmentation.

Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment.
