✦ Synopsis


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 using Stark anticrossing spectroscopy that is asserted to be an upper bound.

The successive C-H bond dissociation energies of CH,, &Hz. C2H4, and H&O (ketene) are determined using large basis sets and a high level of correlation treatment. For CHI, C2H2, and C2H4 the computed values are in excellent agreement with experiment. Using our results we recommend 107.9 +2.0 and 96.

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
