Abstract
The mechanisms of substitution in transition metal complexes are reviewed with particular emphasis on recent developments. Strong support is available for a dissociative mechanism in formation reactions, in which the release of water from the metal ion controls the rate of entry of ligand. This generalization breaks down in the case of certain protonated ligands as well as multidentate ligands of special structure.
