Summary

A coordination reaction in which one ligand at a central atom is replaced by another, through an associative, dissociative, interchange, or mechanism-specific pathway whose rate depends on the complex, ligands, and medium.

Coordination complexLigand substitution

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A coordination complex can undergo ligand substitution when a leaving ligand and an entering ligand participate through a stated mechanism; lability, solvent, steric environment, and electronic structure affect the observed rate.

How to interpret this relation type

A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.

LigandLigand substitution

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Ligand identity affects both binding and departure in a substitution reaction, so donor properties, charge, chelation, and solvent exchange must be distinguished from a universal ligand ordering.

How to interpret this relation type

The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.
