Quantum-chemical calculations of the dissociation energy of the C-H bond in hydrocarbons,alcohols, and ethers

The dissociation energy of the C-H bonds in hydrocarbons, alcohols, and ethers were calculated by semiempirical MNDO, AM1, and PM3 methods. The average error of calculations of theD(C-H) values by using various quantum-chemical methods is 1.3 kcal mol^–1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Interaction of chlorine dioxide with nitroxyl radicals

The formation of charge transfer complexes between chlorine dioxide and nitroxyl radicals (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 4-acetylamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-phenyl-3-imidazolin-1-oxyl, and bis(4-methoxyphenyl) nitroxide) in acetone, acetonitrile, n-heptane, diethyl ether, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, and dichloromethane was found by spectrophotometry at –60—+20 °C. The thermodynamic parameters of complex formation were determined. The radical structure affects its complex formation ability. The charge transfer complex is transformed into the corresponding oxoammonium salt.
