Abstract

Reported are kinetic studies of the deprotonation of [HMo (CO),(~),] BF, complexes (0= 1, 2- bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane, dppe; P'P= 1, 2-bis (dimethylphosphino) ethane, dmpe; P'P= 1, 2-bis (diethylphosphino) ethane, depe). Amine bases deprotonated the metalloacids slowly, ti,, typically being days, following the rate expression rate= k2 [MoH+][amine]. Deprotonation rates were dependent on the size of the amine bases and were greatly ...
