Determination of C-C bond dissociation energies in 1-butyne and 1,2-butadiene.

Bonds are broken and formed in all chemical reactions. A knowledge of the dissociation energies of the relevant bonds helps one to predict the ease by which a given reaction may take place. It is obvious, therefore, that such information is useful in deciding which reactions should be included in th...

Description
Summary:Bonds are broken and formed in all chemical reactions. A knowledge of the dissociation energies of the relevant bonds helps one to predict the ease by which a given reaction may take place. It is obvious, therefore, that such information is useful in deciding which reactions should be included in the overall mechanism of a complex system. The dissociation energy of the bond R1-R2 in the molecule R1R2 is defined as the endothermicity of the reaction in which the bond R1-R2 is ruptured with the formation of two free radicals R1 and R2.
