Association, in this case, refers to the binding of a ligand to the metal. In general, ligand substitution involves the exchange of one ligand for another, with no change in oxidation state at the metal center. Sterically shielding the positions above and below the plane of the. This pathway can be well described by the cis effect, or the labilization of co ligands in the cis position.
We could also change concentrations of the two reactants, the new ligand and the metal complex, in a dissociative reaction. If we did that, we would find a linear relationship between the concentration of metal complex and rate. Pdf kinetics and mechanism of ligand substitution reactions of 2.
