Reactions of coordination complexes can be conveniently divided into substitution reactions at the metal center, oxidation-reduction reactions, and reactions of the ligands that do not change the attachments to the metal center. Reactions that include more elaborate rearrangements of ligand structures are more often observed in organometallic compounds description of these reactions is given in Chapter 14. 

The reaction rates depend to a great extent on the nature of the organometallic compounds, such as polarity of the bonds and the degree of solvation. In polar solvents, where free solvated ion pairs predominate, the mechanism of initiation may simply consist of a direct addition of the anion to the monomer. If the solvents are nonpolar, on the other hand, the initiation is more complex. In these solvents the metal cation coordinates with the monomer first. This is followed by a rearrangement ...
