The O-H Bond Dissociation Energies of Substituted Phenols and Proton Affinities of Substituted Phenoxide Ions: A DFT Study

Abstract: The accurate O-H bond dissociation enthalpies for a series of meta and para substituted phenols (X-C6H4-OH, X=H, F, Cl, CH3, OCH3, OH, NH2, CF3, CN, and NO2) have been calculated by using the (RO)B3LYP procedure with 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(2df,2p) basis sets. The proton affinities of the...
