Resumen:
Rate constants for the proton transfer reaction from Fischer thiocarbene complexes (CO)5MQC(SR1)CH3 (M = Cr or W; R1 = n-butyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, cyclohexyl) to OH-and various primary and secondary amines were determined in 50% acetonitrile–50% water at25 1C. These measurements allowed the determination of the thermodynamic and kinetic aciditiesfor these substrates. The results obtained show that there is a slight effect of the substituent onthe thermodynamic acidity, which is governed by its hydrophobicity; whereas the effect on the kinetic acidity is more noticeable and is due to the steric effect of the substituent.
