22. Of the following statements regarding dissociative substitution in an octahedral transition metal com-
plex,
(A) High steric hindrance between ligands in the metal complex favors fast dissociation of ligand.
(B) Increased charge on the metal atom/ion of the complex favours the acceptance of electron pair of
the entering ligands.
(C) A pentacoordinated intermediate is observed.
(D) Nature of the entering ligand significantly influences the reaction.
(a) A and D (b) A and C (c) A, C and D (d) A, B, C and D
Sol. Octahedral complexes undergo substitution by dissociative mechanism and penta coordinated inter-
mediate is formed. As the steric hindrance between ligands in metal complex increases rate of dissocia-
tion increases. As the charge on metal ion increases the interaction between ligand and metal becomes
strong and rate of dissociation decreases. As the substitution takes place by dissociative mechanism the
rate is independent of nature of entering ligand.
Correct option is (b)
