The Trans-Effect: Example 2

This video tutorial continues the exploration of the trans effect in square planar complexes. It begins with a brief introduction to the trans effect series, explaining how ligands are ranked based on their trans effect. The tutorial then provides a detailed example of solving a trans effect problem, demonstrating how to determine which ligand will be displaced in a reaction. The video concludes with a discussion on understanding the trans effect series and a preview of upcoming topics on the theory behind the trans effect.
