Time-resolved infrared absorption spectroscopy is used to study the coordination reactions of N2 and H-2 with photolytically generated coordinatively unsaturated species (eta6-C6H6)Cr(CO)x and (eta5-C5H5)Mn(CO)x (x = 2 and 1) in the gas phase. Additions of N2 and H-2 to (eta6-C6H6)Cr(CO)2 and (eta5-C5H5)Mn(CO)2 form corresponding molecular nitrogen and hydrogen complexes. Additions of N2 and H-2 to (eta6-C6H6)Cr(CO) are confirmed although no product absorption is observed. By comparison, reactions of N2 and H-2 with (eta5-C5H5)Mn(CO) are not observed, presumably due to spectral overlap. The rate constants for reactions of N2 and H-2 With (eta6-C6H6)Cr(CO)2 and (eta5-C5H5)Mn(CO)2 as well as with (eta6-C6H6)Cr(CO) are measured, and an upper limit for the rate constants for reactions of N2 and H-2 with (eta5-C5H5)Mn(CO) is estimated. Significant differences are observed for the rate constants for reactions of different species and discussed with respect to spin-allowed versus disallowed processes.

The enthalpy changes associated with the photosubstitution of (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(3) by n-heptane, H-2, and N-2 have been measured by high-pressure photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC). The kinetics of the reaction of (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(3) to form (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)L (L = H-2 and N-2) under high pressures of H-2 and N-2 have been monitored by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR), showing that the increased concentration of ligand at high pressure greatly accelerates the reaction, making it possible to use the PAC technique to study these reactions. PAC experiments in n-heptane show the enthalpy change for the reaction of (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(3) + H-2 --> (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)(eta(2)-H-2) + CO to be +91 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1). The PAC data indicate that the strength of the Cr-L bond in (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)L (L = H-2 and N-2) is similar to that in the corresponding Cr(CO)(5)L complexes. We estimate the Cr-H-2 bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) in (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)(eta(2)-H-2) to be 60 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1) and the Cr-N-2 BDE to be 6 kJ mol(-1) stronger (66 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1)). The thermal equilibrium between (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)(eta(2)-H-2) and (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)(N-2) was studied by FTIR in a polyethylene matrix pressurized with a mixture of H-2 and N-2 (130 bar). Conversion of (eta 6-C6H6)Cr(Co)(2)(N-2) to (eta(6)-C6H6)Cr(CO)(2)(eta(2)-H-2) was achieved by using a high pressure of H-2 at 22 degrees C.
