The present volume deals with the properties of dienes, described in chapters on theory, structural chemistry, conformations, thermochemistry and acidity and in chapters dealing with UV and Raman spectra, with electronic effects and the chemistry of radical cations and cations derived from them. The synthesis of dienes and polyenes, and various reactions that they undergo with radicals, with oxidants, under electrochemical conditions, and their use in synthetic photochemistry are among the topics discussed. Systems such as radialenes, or the reactions of dienes under pressure, comprise special topics of these functional groups. 

The practice of physical chemistry came to include many subfields of research thermochemistry and thermodynamics, solution theory, phase equilibria, surface and transport phenomena, colloids, statistical mechanics, kinetics, spectroscopy, crystallography, photochemistry, and radiation. Here I concentrate only on three approaches within physical chemistry that had some promise for meeting the needs of organic chemists who wanted to explain affinity and reaction dynamics.

In this chapter, we review the elements of G3 theory and related techniques of computational thermochemistry. This review is restricted almost exclusively to the techniques that we have developed and the reader is referred to the remaining chapters in this volume for other complementary approaches. An important part of the development of such quantum-chemical methods is their critical assessment on test sets of accurate experimental data. Section 3.2 provides a brief description of the comprehensive G3/99 test set [26] of experimental data that we have collected. Section 3.3 discusses the components of G3 theory as well as the approximate versions such as G3(MP3) [22] and G3(MP2) [23], and their performance for the G3/99 test set. The G3S method [29] that includes multiplicative scale factors is presented in section 3.4 along with other related variants. Section 3.5 discusses the recently developed G3X method [30] that corrects for most of the deficiencies of G3 theory for larger molecules. The performance of these methods is compared to... 

Table 4-10 Convergence of thermochemistry with level of theory and basis set.

The amount of experimental information available regarding the thermochemistry of radicals is limited because of the inherent instability of such species. Therefore, theory has a potentially useful complementary role to play. However, the theoretical determination of radical thermochemistry is not without its own difficulties, and thus a careful assessment of accuracy needs to be carried out before theoretical procedures can be used routinely in this area. Steps in this direction are described in this chapter. 

Miedema s theory and structural information. The Miedema model for energy effects in alloys, presented in 2.2.1.3 has been very useful in an evaluation, albeit approximate, of the formation enthalpies and in the prediction of compound formation capability. For an example of the application and limits of this model, see the comments on the thermochemistry of the Laves phases reported in 3.9.3. However notice that the general usefulness of the Miedema approaches has diminished with time, both for its inherent approximation and for... 

The continuous development and implementation of molecular orbital theory ab initio methods have enlarged the applications to this area too. Indeed, the impact of theoretical calculations in thermochemistry is substantial. Experimental groups often use calculations as a supplement to the interpretation of their results. In this section we will mention a few recent and representative studies that are directly associated with the bond dissociation energies of silanes. Early theoretical investigations of the Si—H bond strength in silanes have been summarized [13]. 

In siunmary, although the application of detailed chemical kinetic modeling to heterogeneous reactions is possible, the effort needed is considerably more involved than in the gas-phase reactions. The thermochemistry of surfaces, clusters, and adsorbed species can be determined in a manner analogous to those associated with the gas-phase species. Similarly, rate parameters of heterogeneous elementary reactions can be estimated, via the application of the transition state theory, by determining the thermochemistry of saddle points on potential energy surfaces. 

When TRPD measurements are combined with PEPICO results, the dissociation rate-energy curve for styrene ion is known over perhaps the largest of any polyatomic ion s range. ° Simple RRKM theory gives an excellent fit (as does Klots thermodynamic formulation), and an extrapolated of 2.43 eV is derived. The thermochemistry for this dissociation to benzene ion plus acetylene [Equation (16)] is very well known from independent heats of formation, giving a calculated...
