1. The terms concerted and stepwise are used here in the simplest sense of occurring via a single transition state (concerted) or different transition states (commonly with an intermediate state having a lifetime of more than one molecular-vibration period intervening between the transition states; stepwise). Considerably finer distinctions in the timing of events during chemical reactions are possible and have been reviewed: C. F. Bernasconi, Adv. Phys. Org. Chem. 1992, 27, 119-238.
