|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ΔrH° | 277.8 ± 4.2 | kJ/mol | EChem | Parker, Handoo, et al., 1991 | solvent: Acetonitrile; Please also see Tilset and Parker, 1989. The reaction enthalpy was obtained from the pKa of the hydride complex (MH), 8.3, and from the oxidation potential of the anion (M-), Co(CO)4(-), by using the equation: ΔHrxn [kJ/mol] = 5.71pKa(MH) + 96.485(Eo)ox(M-) + C. C is a constant that was calculated as 248.9 kJ/mol Parker, Handoo, et al., 1991, by adjusting the previous equation to the calorimetrically derived values for the reactions Cr(Cp)(CO)3(H)(solution) = Cr(Cp)(CO)3(solution) + H(solution), 257.3 ± 4.2 kJ/mol, and Cr(Cp)(CO)2(PPh3)(H)(solution) = Cr(Cp)(CO)2(PPh3)(solution) + H(solution), 250.2 ± 4.2 kJ/mol Kiss, Zhang, et al., 1990. C depends on the solvent and on the reference electrode. The value given implies that the electrode potentials are referenced to ferrocene/ferricinium electrode |

| ΔrH° | 64. | kJ/mol | EST | Connor, 1977 | Please also see Pilcher and Skinner, 1982 and Martinho Simões and Beauchamp, 1990. The enthalpy of formation relies on -1184.1 ± 6.9 kJ/mol for the enthalpy of formation of Co2(CO)8(g). |
| ΔrH° | 60. ± 13. | kJ/mol | EG/EIMS | Bidinosti and McIntyre, 1970 | The reaction enthalpy includes an estimated correction to 298 K. A value of 60.7 ± 8.4 kJ/mol was reported at an average temperature of 330 K Bidinosti and McIntyre, 1970. |
