Labile complexes are transition metal complexes that can undergo substitution reactions rapidly. In other words, labile complexes readily undergo substitution reactions when there is a suitable ligand for the substitution. Inert Complex is the transition metal complex ion that proceeds slowly or not at all and requires a large activation energy to the ligand substitution, where as complexes proceed quickly reached equilibrium with ligands are the Labile Complex
