Title: The nature of seat-ligand fitting in coordination space. Part 3. Ligand exchange and rearrangement due to awkward packing
Abstract: Steric effects are considered as the driving factors in ligand exchange reactions for the first time. Under weak ligand field interaction, various types of improper packing of ligands will induce packing rearrangements. The ligand mixing reactions, the non-integral metal-ligand ratio in compound compositions, the even-odd effect and related phenomena are analysed in the light of the steric packing of the ligands. The extended Seat-ligand Least Fitting Method and the extended Maximum Difference Isomer Criterion are proposed for the quantitative treatment of ligand exchange.
