Dissociative Interchange Pathway
Interchange pathways apply to substitution reactions where intermediates are not observed, which is more common than pure dissociative pathways. If the reaction rate is insensitive to the nature of the attacking nucleophile, the process is called dissociative interchange, abbreviated Id. An illustrative process comes from the "anation" (reaction with an anion) of cobalt(III) complexes:
-
- 3+ + SCN- {, NCS}2+
- {, NCS}2+ 2+ + H2O
