Question

Difference between Associative and Diassociative

Answer 1

Answer:

The key difference between associative and dissociative mechanism is that the associative mechanisms are characterized by the binding of the attacking nucleophile to give a discrete and detectable intermediate followed by the loss of another ligand whereas the dissociative mechanisms are characterized by a rate-determining step that involves the release of a ligand from the coordination sphere of the metal that undergoes the substitution.
