I would like to bring up a couple of points here because I think Basolo and Baddley s experiment of blocking the fifth and sixth positions is a very good one. I would like to ask them if they would do the experiment, if they have not done it, in which chloride, bromide, and iodide are replaced as leaving groups to see if the order reverses to give the octahedral halide leaving order, rather than the planar one in which iodide is slower than chloride. This would help firm up this case.
