A Reassessment of the Bond Dissociation Energies of Peroxides. An ab Initio Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The strength of the O-O bond is of fundamental importance in a variety of chemical processes. Traditionally, a value of 34 kcal/mol has been ascribed to a generic O-O bond dissociation energy. The present, high-level ab initio calculations indicate that the average O-O bond energy is significantly higher, ca. 45 kcal/mol, and that the bond energy is sensitive to the bonding environment. Calculations at the G2 level of theory give bond dissociation enthalpies at 298 K of 50 kcal/mol for HOOH, 45 kcal/mol for CH3OOH, 39 kcal/mol for CH3OOCH3, and 48 kcal/mol for HC(O)OOH and CH3C(O)OOH. The G2(MP2) results are similar and, additionally, give bond dissociation enthalpies of 38 kcal/mol for diacetyl peroxide, 49 kcal/mol for trifluoroperoxyacetic acid, 23 kcal/mol for isopropenyl hydroperoxide, and 22 kcal/mol for peroxynitrous acid.

Characterization of intermolecular interaction between Cl2 and HX (X=F, Cl and Br): An ab initio, DFT, NBO and AIM study
The character of the intermolecular interactions in Cl2-HX (X =F, Cl and Br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order Möller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between Cl2 and HX: X∙∙∙Cl type geometry and hy...

The insertion of an olefinic C=C bond into a metal-carbon bond is of potential interest as a preparativeroute to new products and as results of C-C coupling reactions to organic compounds. The allyl compoundsof Mg, react with an olefin by inversion of the allyl group via a six center transition state. These precyclicreactions may be one of the most important classes of organic reactions. The re...
