Activated Complex

Remember that hill that exist in an enthalpy change diagram? Now, let's go to the top of it.

In the peak of the hill, you will find many particles that are very unstable. They do not have any completed formed bonds, nor completed broken bonds. 

This particles are neither reactants, nor products, they are the mid term, a transitional specie. 

This particles are referred to as the activated complex.
