The homolytic bond dissocation energies (BDEs) of the mononuclear metal carbonyl hydride complexes (5-C5H5) M (CO) 3H (M= Cr, Mo, W),(7, 5-C5Me5) Mo (CO) 3H,(rj5-C5H5) W (CO) 2 (PMe3) H,(r, 5-C5H5) M (CO) 2H (M= Fe, Ru), H2Fe (CO) 4, Mn (CO) 4PPh3H, Mn (CO) 5H, Re (CO) 5H, and Co (CO) 3LH (L= CO, PPh3, P (OPh) 3) havebeen estimated in acetonitrile solution by the use of a thermochemical cycle that requires knowledge of the metal hydride pMa and the oxidation potential of its conjugate base (anion). The BDE values obtained by this method fall in the range 50-67 kcal/mol. In most cases, these results agree well with literature data. Our data provide strong support for the common assumption that the MH bond energies are greater for third-row and for second-row metals than for first-row metals, the difference being 5-11 kcal/mol. Effects of neither phosphine or phosphite substitution nor permethylation of the cyclopentadienyl ring on the MH bond energies could be detected within the error limits of the method. The results are discussed inrelation to previous MH BDE estimates and metal hydridereactivity patterns.Organotransition-metal hydride (MH) complexes constitute an important class of compounds and have received considerable attention particularly because of their involvement inmany stoichiometric and catalytic processes. 2 It is clear that the MH bond strengths exert a major influence on the properties of metal hydride compounds, and a detailed knowledge of the factors that determine the MH bond strengths would greatly aid in understanding reactivity patterns in many processes. 3 For example, the activation of alkane carbon-hydrogen bonds by coordinatively unsaturated transition-metal complexes is a process that is being vigorously pursued. 4 The formation of MH and MC bonds
