## Abstract The C — H bond dissociation energies for naphthalene were determined using a negative ion thermochemical cycle involving the gas‐phase acidity (Δ__H__~acid~) and electron affinity (__EA__) for both the α‐ and β‐positions. The gas‐phase acidity of the naphthalene α‐ and β‐positions and t
