Titration calorimetry has been used to determine the heats of protonation ([Delta]H[sub HP]) of M(CO)[sub 5]([eta][sup 1]-dppm) (M = Cr, Mo, W) and fac-M(CO)[sub 3](N-N)([eta][sup 1]-dppm) (M = Mo, N-N = bipy, phen; M = w, N-N = bipy) complexes with CF[sub 3]SO[sub 3]H in 1,2-dichloroethane solvent at 25.0 [degrees]C. Spectroscopic studies show that protonation occurs at the uncoordinated phosphorus atom of the [eta][sup 1]-coordinated dppm (Ph[sub 2]PCH[sub 2]PPh[sub 2]) ligand. For dppm, its monoprotonated form (dppmH[sup +]), and these complexes, the basicity ([Delta]H[sub HP]) of the dangling phosphorus increases from -14.9 kcal/mol to -23.1 kcal/mol in the order: dppmH[sup +]
