Abstract

Time-resolved IR spectroscopy has been used to study the oxidative addition of H₂ to Fe(CO)₄ and its reverse reaction, the reductive elimination of H₂ from Fe(CO)₄H₂, in the gas phase. The rate constant for oxidative addition of H₂ shows little temperature dependence, indicating that if there is an activation barrier for this process it is small (< 4 kcal mol^-1). The activation barrier for the reductive elimination of H₂ is 20.5 ± 2.1 kcal mol^-1. these measurements, the average of the dissociation energies for the two Fe-H bonds in Fe(CO)₄H₂ is calculated to be 62 ± 2 kcal mol^-1. Kinetic measurements employing D₂ indicate small kinetic isotope effects for both the oxidative addition and reductive elimination reactions.
