The kinetics of hydride transfer from a series of metal hydrides (MH) to Ph(3)C(+)BF(4)(-) (producing Ph(3)-CH and M- - -FBF3) have bean studied by stopped-flow methods in CH2Cl2 solution. Second-order rate constants at 25 degrees C span 5 orders of magnitude in kinetic hydricity, ranging from k = 5.0 x 10(1) M(-1) s(-1) for HMn-(CO)(5) to k = 4.6 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) for trans-HMo(CO)(2)-(PMe(3))Cp.

Hydride transfer from Cp(CO)(2)(PCy3)MoH to Ph3C+BF4- gives Cp(CO)(2)(PCy3)MoFBF3, and the crystal structure of this complex was determined. In the weakly bound FBF3 ligand, the B-F(bridging) bond length is 1.475(8) angstrom, which is 0.15 angstrom longer than the average length of the three B-F(terminal) bonds. The PCy3 and FBF3 ligands are cis to each other in the four-legged piano stool structure. Electronic structure (DFT) calculations predict the trans isomer of Cp(CO)(2)(PCy3)MoFBF3 to be 9.5 kcal/mol (in Delta G(g)degrees(,298)) less stable than the cis isomer that was crystallographically characterized. Hydride transfer from Cp(CO)(2)(PCy3)MoH to Ph3C+BAr4'-[Ar'-3,5 - bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] in CH2Cl2 solvent produces Cp(CO)(2()PCy3)Mo(ClCH2Cl)](+)[BAr4'](-), in which CH2Cl2 is coordinated to the metal.
