文摘

Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K of unstrained alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkylbenzenes can be expressed as a simple sum in which each term consists of the number of hydrogen atoms n of one of eight different types (n₁−n₈) multiplied by an associated coefficient (c₁−c₈) derived from the known enthalpy of formation of a typical molecule. Alkylbenzenes require one additive constant for each benzene ring, accounting for a possible ninth term in the sum. Terms are not needed to account for repulsive or attractive 1,3 interactions, hyperconjugation, or for protobranching, rendering them irrelevant. Conjugated eneynes and diynes show thermodynamic stabilizations much smaller than that observed for 1,3-butadiene, bringing into question the usual explanation for the thermodynamic stabilization of conjugated multiple bonds (p orbital overlap, π electron delocalization, etc.).
