## Abstract The thermochemistry of 25 chlorinated compounds potentially involved in chemical reactions related to waste combustion has been calculated using ab initio methods. Some of these species have never been reported in the literature. To check the validity of our calculations, 11 additional

β¦ Synopsis
The thermochemistry and kinetics of the initiation reactions involved in the oxidation of unsaturated fuels are explored. The thermochemistry of intermediate radicals, diradicals. and molecular species involved are estimated using group additivity with some assistance from bond additivity. Kinetic parameters are estimated with the techniques of thermochemical kinetics. ln the case of acetylene, estimated rate constants are in excellent agreement with experimental results o n the induction period and flame speed.
It is shown that the route initiated by 0, addition to an unsaturated carbon atom to produce a 1.4 diradical is faster than any other path available to form radicals capable of propagating a chain. The 1.4 diradicals so produced can generally cyclize to form a dioxetane which exothermically opens to a dialdehyde which is the ultimate radical source. Below 1000 K unsaturates will always initiate oxidation faster than saturated fuels.
