I felt that this article did not make it clear wether a high or low lability resulted in a functional group being better or worse as a leaving group. I checked this on other sites and it appears that the lower the lability the better a functional group is as a leaving group.
[edit] CN- is not a good leaving group
CN- should not be on that list as having the greatest lability —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.97.70.138 (talk) 19:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC).
