AbstractA recently-developed density functional procedure for computing gas phase heats of formation is briefly described and results for several categories of energetic compounds are summarized and discussed. Liquid and solid phase values can be obtained by combining the gas phase data with heats of vaporization and sublimation estimated by means of other relationships. Some observed functional group effects upon heats of formation are noted.

The heats of vaporization of 1-methylcyclopentene, 3-methylcyclopentene, ethylidenecyclopentane, 1-ethylcyclopentene, methylenecyclohexane, allylcyclopentane, vinylcyclohexane, ethylidenecyclohexane, allylcyclohexane, 3,3-diethylpentane, 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane, and trans-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene have been measured by the gas chromatography – calorimetry method. These values have been combined with previously reported liquid heats of formation to give gaseous values of ΔHf. The results indicate that the internal double bond is favored by about 0.5 kcal over the exo in both 5- and 6-membered rings, but the endo–exo differences are much smaller than previously believed. Several of the liquid heat capacities that were measured were not well predicted by group additivity schemes.

The following heats of vaporization at 25 °C (ΔHv0) have been measured by vaporization calorimetry: cyclopropyl methyl ketone (39.41 ± 0.09 kJ mol−1). methyl cyclopropanecarboxylate (41.27 ± 0.06 kJ mol−1), cyclobutyl cyanide (44.34 ± 0.20 kJ mol−1), methyl cyclobutanecarboxylate (44.72 ± 0.09 kJ mol−1), ethylcyclobutane (31.24 ± 0.03 kJ mol−1), and cyclopentyl cyanide (48.12 ± 0.09 kJ mol−1). Values of ΔHv0 of the last four compounds have been combined with liquid state heats of formation to give new values of the gaseous state heats of formation (ΔHf(g)).When cyclobutyl cyanide, ethylcyclobutane, and cyclobutylamine are involved in hypothetical isodesmic reactions with ethane to give propane and isopropyl derivatives, the enthalpies of reaction are −102.1 ± 1.7 kJ mol−1 (−24.4 ± 0.4 kcal/mol), 8.3 kJ mol−1 (2.0 kcal/mol) less exothermic than the value for cyclobutane. Possible origins of this difference are discussed.

An analysis has been made of the heats of formation and combustion of organic gases and liquids, and of the heats of vaporization of liquids. The work has been done as far as possible with homologous series, in order to discover systematic effects. The data are converted into heats of atomization, i.e., the heats required to convert the gases or liquids into their constituent atoms. It is shown that the heats of atomization of the gaseous aliphatic hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, and acetylenes) can be accurately represented by a scheme in which a distinction is made between primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon–hydrogen bonds, and between bonds that are next to, and next but one to, multiple bonds. For aromatic molecules an appropriate correction for resonance is proposed. For other types of compound it is found that suitable values for the various bonds (e.g., C–CHO, C–OH) will give rise to good agreement with experiment.It is shown that to a reliable approximation heats of vaporization are also amenable to the same treatment. Since this is so it is possible to assign bond values on the basis of which it is possible to make predictions about heats of formation of liquids.A system of coefficients is worked out by means of which the numbers of atoms of various kinds in a molecule can be expressed in terms of the numbers of the different kinds of bonds. On the basis of these it is shown how bond contributions to heats of formation and heats of combustion can be calculated. A table (Table X) gives the contributions proposed for the heats of atomization, heats of formation, and heats of combustion for both gases and liquids.
