Flash-photolysis and stopped-flow experiments are reported for a series of aryl-, alkyl-, and mixed aryl-alkylphosphine derivatives of Mo(CO)3(PR3)2Br2. The photochemically generated dicarbonyl transient rapidly recombines with carbon monoxide under a CO atmosphere to re-form the tricarbonyl via the rate law R = k[Mo(CO)2(PR3)2Br2][CO]. Bimolecular rate constants between 2.5 × 103 and 7.3 × 105 M-1 s-1 were measured in 1,2-dichloroethane. The natural logarithm of the rate constants for CO recombination fit a two-parameter free energy relationship based on the electronic and steric nature of the phosphines. Electron-donating and sterically bulky phosphines inhibit reaction. There is a pronounced solvent effect on the reactivity and the electronic spectrum of dicarbonyl compounds. Hexane as solvent accelerates the reaction while methanol essentially quenches it relative to 1,2-dichloroethane. Electronic spectral measurements show that λmax for the HOMO-LUMO transition shifts from 570 nm in CH2Cl2 to 755 nm on Teflon (diffuse-reflectance spectrum). These observations are consistent with solvent interaction with the LUMO.
