LIGAND SUBSTITUTION
Basic premise about metal-catalyzed reactions:
• Reactions happen in the coordination sphere of the
metal
• Reactants (substrates) come in, react, and leave again
• Binding or dissociation of a ligand is often
the slow, rate-determining step
Ligand Substitution

LIGAND SUBSTITUTION
This premise is not always correct, but it applies
in the vast majority of cases.
Notable exceptions:
• Electron-transfer reactions
• Activation of a single substrate for external attack
– peroxy-acids for olefin epoxidation
– CO and olefins for nucleophilic attack

Factors influencing ease of dissociation:
• 1st row < 2nd row > 3rd row
• d8-ML5 > d10-ML4 > d6-ML6
• stable ligands (CO, olefins, Cl-) dissociate easily
(as opposed to e.g. CH3, Cp).

DISSOCIATIVE SUBSTITUTION at ML6
16-e ML5 complexes are usually fluxional;
the reaction proceeds with partial inversion, partial
retention of stereochemistry.

trans influence and trans effect
• In square planar complexes, some ligands direct
substitution to a position trans to themselves.
• When reaction is controlled by factors influencing the
ground state energy of the complex – trans influence
• Reaction is controlled by factors affecting the transition
state energy.
trans influence
Ligands that form strong  bonds or  tend to weaken the
metal ligand bond trans to the metal.
In the ground state this property is called the trans
influence.

trans kinetic effect
• Tendency of certain ligands to direct incoming groups
to trans position with reactions under kinetic control.

rate
Rate = ks[ML4] = k1 [ML4][Y]
Mechanism:
Square pyramidal – trigonal bipyramid – with retention of
configuration.
Associative substitution with 18 e systems
• Can occur if the metal can delocalize a pair of electrons
onto one of its ligands
LIGAND REARRANGEMENT
Several ligands can switch between n-e and (n-2)-e
situations, thus enabling associative reactions
of an apparently saturated complex:

Rate of substitution of Ligands
Rate of substitutions of a particular ligand is a function of
ligand type.
Ligands that are nuetral in their free state dissociate
rather easily.
Redox-induced ligand substitution
Unlike 18-e complexes, 17-e and 19-e complexes are
labile.
Oxidation and reduction can induce rapid ligand
substitution.

Photochemical ligand substitution
Visible light can excite an electron from an M-L bonding
orbital to an M-L antibonding orbital (Ligand Field
transition, LF).
This often results in fast ligand dissociation.
