Preferred Label : isostructural reaction;
IUPAC definition : A ligand exchange reaction, where the structural type of the metal complex remains
the same. Although these types of reactions are not necessarily isodesmic reactions,
a substantial degree of error cancellation for the calculated energy, Δ i E /i , is
achieved because the coordination sphere of the metal atom M is conserved.;
