Organometallic Reactions Part 1: Ligand Substitution and the Trans Effect

The video tutorial covers ligand substitution in transition metal complexes, explaining associative, dissociative, and interchange processes. It discusses oxidative and reductive activation, metal-ligand bond strength, and the trans influence and effect. The cis effect is also introduced, with examples to illustrate these concepts.
