OCTAHEDRAL SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS. LABILE AND INERT COMPLEXES 

A number of experimental criteria exist that, at least in principle, allow us to tell whether substitution reactions proceed by direct displacement or by dissociation, although these are not always clearly applicable in any particular case. For example, in substitution by dissociation,
