Enthalpies of Formation of Some Gaseous Molecules, Atoms, and Free Radicals at 298 KaaUnless otherwise indicated, from D. R. Lide, CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 79th ed., CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1998/1999, and Atkinson et al., J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, 26, 1329–1499 (1997).ccFor estimating heats of formation of other stable species, use group additivity methods described by S. W. Benson, Thermochemical Kinetics, Wiley, New York, 1976, see review of N. Cohen and S. W. Benson for organic compounds [“Estimation of Heats of Formation of Organic Compounds by Additivity Methods,” Chem. Rev., 93, 2419–2438 (1993)], and the paper by C.-J. Chen, D. Wong, and J. W. Bozzelli for chlorinated alkanes and alkenes [“Standard Chemical Thermodynamic Properties of Multichloro Alkanes and Alkenes: A Modified Group Additivity Scheme,” J. Phys. Chem. A, 102, 4551–4558 (1998)]. Application of group additivity to C2–C6 alkyl radicals is discussed by N. Cohen [“Thermochemistry of Alkyl for Radicals,” J. Phys. Chem., 96, 9052–9058 (1992)].

Ionization potentials for C1—C4 alkyl free radicals have been re-measured by electron impact, using an energy-resolved electron beam from a double-hemispherical electrostatic monochromator. From these values and kinetic data for heats of formation of the radicals, ionic heats of formation for C1—C4 alkyl ions have been calculated. New values for the four isomeric butyl ions are given. The ionization efficiency curves for the simpler radicals show linear sections corresponding to excitation of vibrational levels; for larger radicals these segments are not resolved and only a smooth upward curvature is seen. In disagreement with earlier results, no evidence for formation of low-lying excited states of the ions could be found, either for parent or fragment ions.

Using an energy-resolved electron beam, ionization potentials have been measured for a number of C5–C7 isomeric alkyl radicals, produced by pyrolysis of nitrite intermediates. Values for primary radicals, which could not be produced in sufficient yield, are estimated by extrapolation from lower members of the series. Ionic heats of formation and hydride ion affinities are reported.
