Individual Reactions
(g) = C4FeO4 (g) +
(g)
By formula: C5FeO5 (g) = C4FeO4 (g) + CO (g)
| Quantity | Value | Units | Method | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ΔrH° | 174. ± 13. | kJ/mol | LPHP | Lewis, Golden, et al., 1984 | Please also see Smith and Laine, 1981. Temperature range: 670-780 K. The reaction enthalpy at 298 K relies on an activation energy of 167.4 kJ/mol and assumes a negligible activation barrier for product recombination. The enthalpy of formation relies on -723.9 ± 6.7 kJ/mol for the enthalpy of formation of Fe(CO)5(g). At least two other estimates of the activation energy for the Fe(CO)4(g) + CO(g) recombination have been reported: 7.1 kJ/mol Miller and Grant, 1985 and 16.7 kJ/mol Walsh, 1986. In Lewis, Golden, et al., 1984 authors have considered that the Fe(CO)4(g) fragment is in its singlet excited state. However, it has also been suggested that the fragment is formed in its triplet ground state Ray, Brandow, et al., 1988 Sunderlin, Wang, et al., 1992 |
| ΔrH° | 232. ± 48. | kJ/mol | N/A | Engelking and Lineberger, 1979 | Please also see Compton and Stockdale, 1976. Method: LPS and collision with low energy electrons. |
C4H2FeO4 (g) = 2 (g) + C4FeO4 (g)
By formula: C4H2FeO4 (g) = 2H (g) + C4FeO4 (g)
| Quantity | Value | Units | Method | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ΔrH° | 545. | kJ/mol | EST | Miller and Beauchamp, 1991 | Please also see Martinho Simões and Beauchamp, 1990. The reaction enthalpy was estimated from the activation enthalpy for thermal decomposition in solution, 109. ± 8. kJ/mol Pearson and Mauermann, 1982, yielding Fe(CO)4 and H2, and from the activation enthalpy of the oxidative addition of H2 to Fe(CO)4 in a rare gas matrix, ca. 0. kJ/mol Sweany, 1981, yielding Fe(CO)4H2. The enthalpy of formation relies on -440. ± 14. kJ/mol for the enthalpy of formation of Fe(CO)4(g) |
C4FeO4 (g) = C3FeO3 (g) + (g)
By formula: C4FeO4 (g) = C3FeO3 (g) + CO (g)
| Quantity | Value | Units | Method | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ΔrH° | 117. ± 36. | kJ/mol | FA-SIFT | Sunderlin, Wang, et al., 1992 | |
| ΔrH° | 42. | kJ/mol | N/A | Venkataraman, Bandukwalla, et al., 1989 | Method: Velocity distributions of photofragments from Fe(CO)5. |
| ΔrH° | 19. ± 39. | kJ/mol | N/A | Engelking and Lineberger, 1979 | Please also see Compton and Stockdale, 1976. Method: LPS and collision with low energy electrons. |
