{{DefName|An ion formed by direct combination of two separate molecular entities, usually an ion and a neutral molecule, in such a way that there is change in connectivity promoted by intermolecular binding, but no loss of atoms within the precursor entities. Normally a stoichiometry of 1:1 is observed, but other stoichiometries are also possible, e.g. a bis-adduct (2:1). An intramolecular adduct can also be formed for binding of different groups contained within the same molecular entity. Adduct ion is a general term which, whenever appropriate, should be used in preference to the less explicit term complex ion. It is also used specifically for products of an (cyclo)addition ion/molecule reaction. For examples, the Diels-Alder adduct ion.}}
{{DefName|An ion formed by the interaction of an ion with one or more atoms or molecules to form an ion containing all the constituent atoms of the precursor ion as well as the additional atoms from the associated atoms or molecules. }}

Orange Book Entry

An ion formed by interaction of two species, usually an ion and a molecule, and often within an ion source, to form an ion containing all the constituent atoms of one species as well as an additional atom or atoms.
