3. Acidity of the hydrogen atom bonded to a metal atom

The first known metal-hydrogen bonded compounds are [HCo(CO) ₄ ] and [H ₂ Fe(CO) ₄ ]. These hydride ligands correspond, most of the time, to a bond polarity ${métal}^{δ +} H^{δ -}$ , rarely to ${métal}^{δ -} H^{δ +}$ . In water, this translates into acidity....
