1 Associative Ligand Substitution Reactions and the Berry Rearrangement 

On the basis of the analytic expression, BUrgi was able to show that the sum of the axial bond numbers equals unity at each stage of the reaction, implying that the bond between the incoming ligand and cadmium is strengthened at the expense of
