The bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) in chlorinated benzenes and phenols and the standard gas-phase enthalpies of formation of chlorinated phenyl and phenoxy radicals are predicted by using Gaussian-4 (G4) and Gaussian-3X (G3X) model chemistries. The predicted G4 BDEs are systematically smaller t

✦ Synopsis
The enthalpies of formation of n-bromopropane (CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 Br) and its free radicals (CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Br, CH 3 CHCH 2 Br and CH 3 CH 2 CHBr) were estimated by molecular orbital integrated methods using several working chemical reactions with four variants of theoretical approaches (levels) and four extended basis sets. The recommended standard enthalpies of formation are: CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 Br, )19.5 AE 0.6 kcal mol À1 , in excellent agreement with the only experimental datum available; CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Br, 28.7 AE 0.3; CH 3 CHCH 2 Br, 23.1 AE 1.4; and CH 3 CH 2 CHBr, 25.7 AE 0.6 kcal mol À1 . These enthalpies of formation correspond to bond dissociation enthalpies of DH 0 298 (H-CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Br) ¼ 101.6 AE 1.0; DH 0 298 (CH 3 CH-HCH 2 Br) ¼ 96.0 AE 2.1; and DH 0 298 (CH 3 CH 2 CHBr-H) ¼ 98.6 AE 1.2 kcal mol À1 .

## Abstract For H‐atom abstraction reactions by HO radicals it has been shown that equation image If __D__~__i__~ is taken as the CH bond dissociation enthalpy at 298 K, then __a__ = 0.323 and __D__~0~is obtained from the empirical formula where __D__~0~ is in kcal/mol and __T__ is in K. Thisr
