Abstract
Geometrical isomers of platinum(II) and palladium(II) differ substantially in their chemical and biological properties. Under certain conditions one isomeric compound can transform into another. It is essential for chemists to be aware of the probable direction of the isomerisation process, and to predict which isomer is likely to be relatively more stable. The rules in this paper will permit such judgements to be made.
