This pathway can be well described by the cis effect, or the labilization of co ligands in the cis position. Knowing the mechanism is important because the mechanism has an impact on what factors affect the reaction.
Association, in this case, refers to the binding of a ligand to the metal. The incoming ligand adds to the complex, and an intermediate with a increased. A dissociative mechanism means that the mechanism proceeds by dissociation of one of the ligands from the metal center as the first important step of the reaction. The term is typically applied to coordination and organometallic complexes, but resembles the sn1 mechanism in organic chemistry.
