The pK/sub a/ values of the common mononuclear carbonyl hydrides have been determined in acetonitrile by IR measurement of the position of deprotonation equilibria with various nitrogen bases and potassium phenolate. The resulting values cover a range of about 20 pK/sub a/ units, from 8.3 for HCo(CO)/sub 4/ to 26.6 for CpW(CO)/sub 2/(PMe/sub 3/)H. Hydrides with eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/ ligands are appreciably weaker acids than the corresponding hydrides with eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/H/sub 5/ ligands (e.g., the pK/sub a/ of (eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)Fe(CO)/sub 2/H is 26.3, while that of (eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/H/sub 5/)Fe(CO)/sub 2/H is 19.4). The acidities of the group 8 carbonyl hydrides H/sub 2/M(CO)/sub 4/ decrease in the order Fe > Ru > Os.
