Which consequence results when a sterically hindered platinum complex experiences ligand substitution?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced dissociative substitution occurs because steric hindrance destabilizes transition states with increased coordination number; the steric bulk encourages ligand dissociation via a dissociative mechanism, rather than associative pathways, therefore leading to faster substitution when ligands leave.
