Abstract

The enthalpy of reaction of (NBD)Mo(CO)₄ (NBD = norbornadiene) with a number of monodentate and bidentate ligands forming cis-L₂Mo(CO)₄ has been measured at 30°C in THF solution. The heats of reaction span a range of 33 kcal/mol. The order of stability for monodentate ligands is PCl₃ < As(C₆H₅)₃ < py < P(C₆H₅)₃ < AsEt₃ < P(OC₆H₅)₃ < P(C₆H₅)₂(CH₃) < CO < P(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂ < P(OCH₃)₃ < P(n-Bu)₃ < (C₆H₁₁)NC < PEt₃ < PMe₃. The series of chelating bidentate phosphines R₂P-(CH₂)_nPR₂ (n = 1-4, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, 2, R = CH₃) and several related ligands were investigated. The chelating ring systems in the metallacycles show strain energies of about 8 kcal/mol for four-membered rings. The mixed ligand (C₆H₅)₂PCH₂CH₂-As(C ₆H₅)₂ shows a heat of binding midway between the heats of binding of (C₆H₅)₂PCH₂CH₂P(C ₆H₅)₂ and (C₆H₅)₂AsCH₂C-H₂As(C ₆H₅)₂, implying group additivity in this system. The complex (phen)Mo(CO)₄ is some 5 kcal/mol more stable than (bpy)Mo(CO)₄, presumably due to conformational effects in the free ligand. The ligand 1,5-cyclooctadiene forms a complex 2 kcal/mol less stable than that of norbornadiene. The influences of steric and electronic factors in determining the Mo-L bond strength are discussed.
