Besides geometric and vibrational properties, identification of the relative energies of compounds, or the energy differences between points on the potential energy surface of a particular compound have also been undertaken.[70-73] Calculations of the bond dissociation energy, reaction energy, electron affinity, heat of formation, and enthalpy of deprotonization are practical examples of the type of properties that have been determined for salts by using quantum chemistry methods. 

As can be easily appreciated from the table of bond dissociation energies, reactions involving formation of silicon-oxygen bonds from silyl iodides, bromides, and chlorides are exothermic. Of equal significance, reactions that result in formation of the silicon-fluorine bond (the strongest single bond known) enable cleavage of virtually all other bonds to silicon. 

The bond dissociation energy of the hydrogen-fluorine bond in HF is so great that the above equilibrium lies to the left and hydrogen fluoride is a weak acid in dilute aqueous solution. In more concentrated solution, however, a second equilibrium reaction becomes important with the fluoride ion forming the complex ion HFJ. The relevant equilibria are ... 

Emphasis was put on providing a sound physicochemical basis for the modeling of the effects determining a reaction mechanism. Thus, methods were developed for the estimation of pXj-vahies, bond dissociation energies, heats of formation, frontier molecular orbital energies and coefficients, and stcric hindrance. 

The knowledge base is essentially two-fold on one hand it consists of a series of procedures for calculating all-important physicochemical effects such as heats of reaction, bond dissociation energies, charge distribution, inductive, resonance, and polarizability effects (.see Section 7.1). The other part of the knowledge base defines the reaction types on which the EROS system can work. 

In this section you have seen how heats of com bustion can be used to determine relative stabilities of isomeric alkanes In later sections we shall expand our scope to include the experimentally determined heats of certain other reactions such as bond dissociation energies (Section 4 16) and heats of hydrogenation (Section 6 2) to see how AH° values from various sources can aid our understanding of structure and reactivity... 

You have seen that measurements of heats of reaction such as heats of combustion can pro vide quantitative information concerning the relative stability of constitutional isomers (Section 2 18) and stereoisomers (Section 3 11) The box in Section 2 18 described how heats of reaction can be manipulated arithmetically to generate heats of formation (AH ) for many molecules The following material shows how two different sources of thermo chemical information heats of formation and bond dissociation energies (see Table 4 3) can reveal whether a particular reaction is exothermic or en dothermic and by how much... 

Bromination of methane is exothermic but less exothermic than chlorination The value calculated from bond dissociation energies is AH° = -30 kJ Al though bromination of methane is energetically fa vorable economic considerations cause most of the methyl bromide prepared commercially to be made from methanol by reaction with hydrogen bromide... 

Basing your answers on the bond dissociation energies in Table 4 3 calculate which of the following reactions are endothermic and which are exothermic... 

The degree to which allylic radicals are stabilized by delocalization of the unpaired electron causes reactions that generate them to proceed more readily than those that give simple alkyl radicals Compare for example the bond dissociation energies of the pri mary C—H bonds of propane and propene... 

The bond dissociation energy (enthalpy change) for a bond A—B which is broken through the reaction... 

Because these stability measurements pertain to the gas phase, it is important to consider the effects that solvation might have on the structure-stability relationships. Hydride affinity values based on solution measurements can be derived from thermodynamic cycles that relate hydrocarbon p T, bond dissociation energy and electrochemical potentials. The hydride affinity, AG, for the reaction... 

Bond dissociation energies such as those in Table 12.6 are also useful for estimation of the energy balance in individual steps in a free-radical reaction sequence. This is an... 

The last example represents a fairly rare elimination of hydrogen fluoride in preference to hydrogen chloride, a reaction that deserves a more detailed discussion A comparison of bond dissociation energies of carbon-halogen bonds shows that the carbon-fluorine bond is much stronger than the carbon-chlorine, carbon-bromine, and carbon-iodme bonds 108-116, 83 5, 70, and 56 kcal/mol, respec-...
