Strain energies conventional

Calculation of group increments for oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen compounds has allowed the estimation of conventional ring-strain energies (CRSE) for saturated heterocycles from enthalpies of formation. For 1,3-dioxolane, CRSE is about 20 kJ mol . In 2,4-dialkyl-l,3-dioxolanes the cis form is always thermodynamically the more stable by approximately 1 kJ mol" . 

Broeklehurst [37] has written an exhaustive review of the early work (prior to 1977) on fracture in polyerystalline graphite. Mueh of this work foeused on the fraeture behavior of nuclear graphites. In most investigations eonsidered, conventional fracture meehanies tests and analysis were performed for maeroseopie craeks. LEFM provided an adequate eriterion for failure. Additionally, results on work of fraeture, strain energy release rate, and fatigue eraek propagation were reported. 

Stability. The four-membered ring in the diazabiphenylene series of compounds is strained due to bond angle deformation . The conventional ring strain energy for cyclobutane is 111 kj moP alkyl substituents stabilize the ring by only a few kilojoules per mole. 

Several authors have pointed out that the conventional strain energy (CSE) of 1 (27.5 kcal mol1) is about of the same magnitude as that of cyclobutane (26.5 kcal mol1) and there-...
