S−H Bond Dissociation Enthalpies in Thiophenols:  A Time-Resolved Photoacoustic Calorimetry and Quantum Chemistry Study

Abstract: Time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry (TR-PAC) and quantum chemistry calculations were used to investigate the energetics of sulfur-hydrogen bonds in thiophenol and four para-substituted thiophenols, 4-XC 6 H 4 SH (X ) CH 3 , OCH 3 , Cl, and CF 3 ). The result obtained for the PhS-H gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy, derived from the PAC experimental results in solution, is 349.4 ( 4.5 kJ mol -1 . This value is significantly higher than recent literature values but agrees with a value suggested some 20 ye… Show more

“…Although there are several experimental studies in which the energetics of PhOH‚‚‚S intermolecular bonds were determined, 12 we have found that the so-called ECW method, developed by Drago and co-workers, 13 provides an alternative and direct way of estimating that bond enthalpy in many solvents. 8,14,15 Regarding the enthalpy of solvation of the hydrogen atom, it is usually identified with the enthalpy of solvation of H 2 , which is nearly constant for organic solvents (1.2 ( 0.2 kcal mol -1 ). 8 However, it is important to stress that this value becomes redundant when the PhO-H gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy relies on DH°s ln (PhO-H) obtained from photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC) experiments.…”

“…Literatures values of the bond enthalpy of dissociation (BDH) of C 6 H 5 S–H bond shows significant disparity in the range of 77.5 kcal/mol–85.9 kcal/mol [27]. Herein, BDH of C 6 H 5 S–H is reevaluated using isodesmic work reactions as:C6H5SH+XC6H5S+XHwhere X is considered to be one of the sulfur-centered radicals of HS, CH 3 S. This method is shown to provide accurate BDH values by deploying reference species with well-known enthalpies of formation (errors not greater than ±0.50 kcal/mol) while maintaining the same number of radical species on both sides of the reaction [28].…”

“…The molar enthalpy of the bond dissociation of the enolic hydrogen in the monothio-b-diketones, D m (S-H, HbdikS, enol, g) was considered to be the same as the S-H bond dissociation enthalpy in the thiophenol [43], (349 ± 30) kJ Á mol À1 in order to derive the hD m i (Zn-L) in the zinc(II) monothio-b-diketonate complexes. Table 7 lists the mean bond dissociation enthalpies of Zn(II) to ligand, hD m i (Zn-L), in both the zinc(II) b-diketones and monothio-b-diketones with the values seeming to show some energetic differences on the binding of the Zn(II) to the different ligands.…”
