Determine the type of the proposed ligand-substitution mechanism for each of the following cases A) Steric crowding slows down the reaction. B) The reactions of [Ni(CO)4] in which phosphines or phosphites replace CO to give [Ni(CO)3L] all occur at the same rate regardless of which phosphine or phosphite is being used. C) The rate constants for formation of [VX(OH2)s] from [V(OH)] and X when X = Ct, NCS, and N3 are in the ratio 1:2:10.

Consider the reaction of [V(H2O)6]2+ with [Co(NH3)5X]2+ in acidic aqueous solution (X = halide or NCS–) producing [V(H2O)5X]2+ and [Co(H2O)6]2+. Suggest the mechanism, considering that the rate constant is very similar for X = Cl, Br, I. Characterize in few words individual steps. Explain the nature of the rate-determining step in terms of the [V(H2O)6]2+ electron configuration.
