β¦ Synopsis
Bond dissociation energies are frequently derived from values of the high pressure activation energy for bond scission reactions. The value derived depends on the transition state structure chosen for the reaction. We consider several models of the transition state and show that the variation in derived BDE values can be quite substantial, 3 to 6 kcal/mol at the high temperatures of pyrolysis kinetics. Application of the restricted Gorin model of the transition state results in BDE values in good agreement with current thermochemistry, while the other models tested result in lower to much lower values.

## Abstract The preceeding paper presents a critical tabular compilation of 2βcenter homoβ and heteropolar bond dissociation energies. This paper deals with some empirically derived general aspects of these data, particularly regarding relationships between structure and reactivity, __i.e__. substi
Homolytic bond dissociation energies are a composite of the radical stabilization energies (RSE) of the product radicals and the polar ground-state stabilization energies (PSE) of the reactant molecules. Substituent effects on the PSE are rationalized in terms of changes in the difference of group e
