Abstract

Despite the fundamental importance of the hydricity of a transition metal hydride (Δ GH– °(MH) for the reaction M–H→ M++ H–) in a range of reactions important in catalysis and solar energy storage, ours (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 2794) are the only values reported for water solvent, and there has been no basis for comparison of these with the wider range already determined for acetonitrile solvent, in particular. Accordingly, we have used a ...
