Estimation of the dissociation energies of O-O, C-O, and O-H bonds in acyl peroxides, acids, and esters from kinetic data on the degradation of diacyl peroxides
Kinetic data on the thermal decomposition of diacyl peroxides were analyzed, and the dissociation energies for the O-O bond in these compounds were calculated. The enthalpies of formation were calculated for a number of acyloxy radicals and some diacyl peroxides. The dissociation energies of O-H and C-O bonds in acids and C(O)-OR and C(O)O-R bonds in esters were estimated.
