Metal—Carbon and Metal—Hydrogen Bond Dissociation Enthalpies from Classical and Nonclassical Calorimetric Studies... 

One of the limitations of "classical reaction-solution calorimetry (either relying on temperature change or heat flux measurements) ) as a tool for obtaining information on the energetics of chemical bonds, stems from the fact that reactions seldom involve the formation or the cleavage of an individual bond. Therefore, the enthalpy of reaction usually reflects a difference between bond dissociation enthalpies. A second drawback of the method is that the bond enthalpy balance can be masked by solvation effects.
