Gas phase brønsted basicity of [(η5-MeC5H4)Mn(CO)3]
Abstract
The gas phase Brøonsted bascity of [(η5-MeC5H4)Mn(CO)3] has been determined at 296 K by ion cyclotron resonance equilibrium measurements; these experiments enable us to calculate the proton affinity of this complex as being 825 ± 8 kJ mol–1 by using NH3 as a reference.
