We present a theoretical study of the convergence of the C-H bond dissociation energy (Do) of acetylene with respect to both the one-and n-particle spaces. Our best estimate for Do of 130.1 f 1.0 kcal/mol is slightly below previous theoretical estimates, but substantially above the value determined

The C-H bond energy in C2H 6 is computed to be 99.76 \_+ 0.45 kcal/mol, which is in excellent agreement with the most recent experimental values. The calculation of the C-H bond energy by direct dissociation and by an isodesmic reaction is discussed.
In order to compare with recent accurate measurements, the carbon-hydrogen bond energy in formaldehyde has been calculated. Both electron correlation and extensively polarized basis sets are required to obtain satisfactory results. The most extensive computation predicts a CH bond energy of 85.4 kca
The bond dissociation energies (0,) of C>H>, &Ho, CzHa, Nz, N2H2, and NzH4 are studied at various levels of correlation treatment. The convergence of 0. with respect to the one-particle basis is studied at the single-reference modified coupled-pairfunctional (MCPF) level. At all levels of correlatio
The rotational cutoff levels of C,( B' 'Z:, u" = 1,2), produced in the multiphoton dissociation of jet-cooled acetylene at 193 nm, have been measured using laser-induced fluorescence. This data is used to calculate the values AHf,,(C2) = 194.8iO.5 kcal/ mol and D,(CC-H) = 112.0 kO.8 kcal/mol, in exc
