Energetics of Organomanganese Compounds

Abstract

Diverse aspects of the energetics of organomanganese compounds are considered in this chapter. Bond energies, enthalpies of formation and enthalpies of reaction are discussed. Classical combustion calorimetry plays only a small role compared to reaction calorimetry and techniques from contemporary ion energetics. While carbonyl, cyano, cyclopentadienyl, and benzene derivatives dominate the discussion, species with numerous other σ and/or π‐bonded ligands also appear. Quantitation is given whenever possible.

Interplay of thermochemistry and Structural Chemistry, the journal (volume 21, 2010) and the discipline

“…The energy of formation of the complexes containing tertbutyl-3-isocyanopropanoate ligand is more negative by a few kcal mol -1 than energy of those having a coordinated water molecules instead. The energetics of p-complexes of the valence isoelectronic tricarbonylmanganese(I) cation has recently been reviewed [212]. Comparison with the above technetium and rhenium species is welcomed.…”
