Enthalpies of formation of [M(η-C5H5)2(OOCR)2] complexes; M = Mo, W, or Ti and R = C6H5or CF3

Abstract
The standard enthalpies of formation of the title crystalline solids at 298.15 K have been determined by reaction–solution calorimetry. The results gave ΔHf {[Mo(η-C5H5)2(OOCC6H5)2], c}=–486.2 ± 3.4, ΔHf {[Mo(η-C5H5)2(OOCCF3)2], c}=–1 952.0 ± 3.9, ΔHf {[W(η-C5H5)2(OOCC6H5)2], c}=–448.9 ± 3.5, ΔHf {[W(η-C5H5)2(OOCCF3)2], c}=–1 914.5 ± 3.8, ΔHf {[Ti(η-C5H5)2(OOCC6H5)2], c}=–775.2 ± 8.1, and ΔHf {[Ti(η-C5H5)2(OOCCF3)2], c}=–2 219.0 ± 8.0 kJ mol–1. The metal–oxygen mean bond-enthalpy contributions have been derived as (Mo–OOCC6H5)≈ 305, (W–OOCC6H5)≈ 342, (Ti–OOCC6H5)≈ 432, (Mo–OOCCF3)≈ 300, (W–OOCCF3)≈ 337, and (Ti–OOCCF3)≈ 417 kJ mol–1.
