The section of “Ligand Displacement Reactions in Octahedral Complexes- Acid Hydrolysis, Base Hydrolysis” from the chapter entitled “Reaction Mechanism of Transition Metal Complexes-I” covers the following topics:

  1. Acid Hydrolysis: Solvation energy of the intermediate, Steric Hindrance, Effect of the leaving group.
  2. Base Hydrolysis: Hydrolysis of the complex ions without acidic protons, Hydrolysis of [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ by nucleophiles with same strength as OH– , Hydrolysis of anionic complexes.
