The heat of formation of iodopentafluorobenzene has been determined using the direct combustion method previously developed and used for hexafluorobenzene and octafluorotoluene. The combustion with oxygen yields CO2, CF4, F2, I2, and IF5. With a tenfold excess of oxygen the average CO2 to CF4 molar ratio is 11.08 ± 0.028. A material balance was obtained for carbon and fluorine. An apparent shortfall of about 30% in iodine has been related to the formation of IO2(OH) during analysis. The value of ΔHf2980 (C6F5I,g) = −133.2 ± 3.0 kcal mol−1 has been combined with D(C6F5—I) and ΔHf2980(I, g) to obtain ΔHf2980(C6F5,g) = −92.6 kcal mol−1 Using this value and the appropriate values of ΔHf2980 (C6F5X,g) and ΔHf2980(X, g), values of D(C6F5—X) have been calculated for X = OH, H, F, Cl, I, CH3, and CF3.

The heat of formation of bromopentafluorobenzene has been determined through the use of the direct combustion method which has been applied to hexafluorobenzene, octafluorotoluene, and iodopentafluorobenzene. While a platinum lined bomb is normally used for these types of compounds a steel bomb had to be adopted in this work. The combustion of bromopentafluorobenzene in the steel bomb yields CO2, CF4, F2, Br2, and BrF3. With a ten-fold excess of oxygen, the average CO2 to CF4 molar ratio is 7.29 ± 0.07. A material balance was obtained for carbon, fluorine, and bromine. The value of ΔHf2980(C6F5Br, g) = −711.6 ± 16.7 kJ mol−1 (−170.1 ± 4.0 kcal mol−1) has been combined with ΔHf2980(C6F5, g) = −387.4 kJ mol−1 (−92.6 kcal mol−1) and ΔHf2980(Br, g) = 111.7 kJ mol−1 (26.7 kcal mol−1) to obtain a value for D[C6F5—Br] of 435.9 kJ mol−1 (104.2 kcal mol−1).

The heat of formation of octafluorotoluene has been determined using the direct combustion method previously developed for hexafluorobenzene. As in the hexafluorobenzene case the combustion of octafluorotoluene in oxygen yields CO2, CF4, and F2. With a ten-fold excess of oxygen the CO2 to CF4 ratio is 3.85 ± 0.06. A full material balance was obtained. The value of ΔHf2980(C6F5CF3,g) = −303.2 ± 1.8 kcal mol−1 may be combined with the enthalpies of formation of C6F6, CF3, and F to give D[C6F5—F] – D[C6F5—CF3] = 55.7 ± 4.0 kcal mol−1.

The heat of formation of decafluorobiphenyl has been determined by the direct combustion method previously developed and used for hexafluorobenzene and related compounds. As in the hexafluorobenzene case the combustion of decafluorobiphenyl in oxygen yields CO2, CF4, and F2. With a ten-fold excess of oxygen the CO2 to CF4 ratio is 5.85 ± 0.08. A full material balance was obtained. The value of ΔHf2980(C12F10,g) = −1263.2 ± 5.1 kJ mol−1 may be combined with ΔHf2980(C6F5,g) = −387.4 ± 12.0 kJ mol−1 to give D(C6F5—C6F5) = 488.4 ± 24.5 kJ mol−1. Also with ΔHf2980(C6F6,g) = −945.6 ± 8.0 kJ mol−1 ΔH2980 for reaction [3][Formula: see text]is calculated to be −628.0 ± 16.8 kJ mol−1.


Pyrolysis of benzoyl bromide in the presence of excess of toluene has been investigated. It has been shown that the rate-determining step is the unimolecular dissociation C 6 H 5 . CO. Br → C 6 H 5 . CO + Br, followed by the rapid decomposition of benzoyl radicals C 6 H 5 . CO → C 6 H 5 ⋅ + CO. Bromine atoms and phenyl radicals seem to be removed from the system by the reactions C 6 H 5 . CH 3 + Br → C 6 H 5 . CH 2 ⋅ + HBr and C 6 H 5 . CH 3 + Ph ⋅→ C 6 H 5 . CH 2 ⋅ + C 6 H 6 . The activation energy of the rate-determining dissociation process has been estimated using the least square method at 57⋅0 kcal/mole and has been identified with D (C 6 H 5 ⋅ CO-Br). Thus, having D (C 6 H 5 ⋅ CO-Br) = 57⋅0 kcal/mole, the heat of formation of benzoyl radicals has been calculated at ∆ H f (C 6 H 5 . CO) = 15⋅6 kcal/mole, and consequently the values for various bond dissociation energies of the type D (C 6 H 5 . CO- X ) have been derived.


The paper describes a pyrolytic method of investigating the kinetics of gaseous reactions in which toluene is used as a carrier gas. It is shown that the method is particularly suitable for the determination of bond dissociation energies. The scope of the method is illustrated by various examples. A list of bond dissociation energies obtained is given. The manner in which the experimental results obtained can be cross-checked, is indicated and illustrated by examples. The effects of various constitutional factors on the bond dissociation energies are discussed.
