Key Questions
Here are some questions to think about before, during, and after this week's experiment.

Which linkage isomer forms first and which forms subsequently? How do you know?

Why are pseudo-first order reaction conditions used?

Why should one isomer be kinetically favored and the other thermodynamically favored? What clues can the mechanism provide for deciding which isomer is which? What clues can the bonding of each isomer provide?
