Individual Reactions

Cobalt, tetracarbonylhydro- (solution) = Hydrogen atom (solution) + Cobalt, tetracarbonyl (solution)

By formula: C4HCoO4 (solution) = H (solution) + C4CoO4 (solution)

Δr66.4 ± 1.0kcal/molEChemParker, Handoo, et al., 1991solvent: 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 59.49 kcal/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), 61.5 ± 1.0 kcal/mol, and Cr(Cp)(CO)2(PPh3)(H)(solution) = Cr(Cp)(CO)2(PPh3)(solution) + H(solution), 59.8 ± 1.0 kcal/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

Δr15.kcal/molESTConnor, 1977Please also see Pilcher and Skinner, 1982 and Martinho Simões and Beauchamp, 1990. The enthalpy of formation relies on -283.0 ± 1.6 kcal/mol for the enthalpy of formation of Co2(CO)8(g).
Δr14. ± 3.1kcal/molEG/EIMSBidinosti and McIntyre, 1970The reaction enthalpy includes an estimated correction to 298 K. A value of 14.5 ± 2.0 kcal/mol was reported at an average temperature of 330 K Bidinosti and McIntyre, 1970.
