Substitution reactions in octahedral complexes are classified on the basis of the pathway by which a ligand is replaced and the change in coordination number during the reaction. Broadly, these mechanisms are grouped into dissociative, associative, and interchange pathways. In the dissociative mechanism, the rate-determining step involves the loss of a ligand from the coordination sphere, resulting in a five-coordinate intermediate or activated complex. This mechanism is denoted as D when a stable intermediate is formed and as Id when bond breaking predominates without a well-defined intermediate.
