Determination of the Mo...OX bond strengths in oxomolybdenum model complexes.


EMSL Project ID
3686

Abstract

Based on the available data Holm proposed a thermodynamic scale for the propensity of oxygen atom transfer reaction. Under this scheme the feasibility of a substrate to act as an acceptor is judged from the DH of the substrate oxygen bond formation.
