The enthalpies of formation (∆H°f) of twenty one amidyl radical (R • ) belonging to the formamidyl homological series were calculated using the published values of R-H bond dissociation energies. Among them, the ∆H°f values of nine radicals were first calculated and those of eight radicals were refined. Most of the ∆H°f values of corresponding starting mol ecules RH (∆H°f(RH)) were obtained using the macroincrementing schemes. Based on the group additivity scheme, the "structure-enthalpy of formation" relationships for the radicals considered were examined, the ∆H°f(R • ) values were analyzed, and their reliability was con firmed. Parameters for calculating the ∆H°f values of radicals belonging to this homologous series were suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
