Static-bomb combustion calorimetry determination

There is general agreement that static-bomb combustion calorimetry is inherently unsatisfactory to determine enthalpies of formation of organolead compounds2,3. Unfortunately, as shown in Table 6 only three substances have been studied by the rotating-bomb method. The experimentally measured enthalpies of formation of the remaining compounds in Table 6 were determined by reaction-solution calorimetry and all rely on AH/(PbPh4, c). 

To the best of our knowledge, PhC=CAg is the only other silver acetylide for which there is a measured enthalpy of formation. Indeed, it is the only other classical silver organometalhc compound for which the standard enthalpy of formation has become available in this century Using static-bomb combustion calorimetry, Bykova and her coworkers11 determined this value to be 346.3 2.0 kJ mol-1.
