The third step which is the replacement <strong>of</strong> the linker is initiated by the coordination <strong>of</strong><br />

thiourea nucleophiles trans to the NH3 ligands. Because <strong>of</strong> the strong trans-effect <strong>of</strong><br />

sulphur atom, the NH3 trans to the sulphur atom are slowly substituted. 50 This increases
