The ligand exchange mechanism of the solvated lithium cations [Li(H2O)4]+ and [Li(NH3)4]+ has been studied using DFT calculations (R. Puchta, M. Galle, N. van E. Hommes, E. Pasgreta, R. van Eldik, Inorg. Chem. , 2004 , 43, 8227.). Describe how water exchange is postulated to occur with the inclusion of the pertinent structures. What parameter most strongly supports a limiting associative substitution mechanism? How is the proposed mechanism for ligand exchange in [Li(NH3)4]+ different? Why is the [Li(NH3)4]+ mechanism postulated as associative interchange?
