The Strengths of Chemical Bonds

Fülszöveg

This book gives a full description of the experimental approach to the study of bond strengths that will commend itself to the theoretician who must assess experimental results and to those who are about to start research in the subject, or to anyone looking for values of bond strengths.
Experimental methods for determining bond dissociation energies in diatomic and polyatomic molecules are discussed in detail, together with the methods of determining the heats of formation of molecules. Attention is chiefly given to the reliability and accuracy of the various methods and results.
The numerical values of heats of atomization are listed and critically examined, and a table of internuclear distances and force constants is included for those bonds for which energetic information is available.
Research on bond strengths has continued rapidly in the last few years, and much new information, covered by almost two hundred references to recent work, has been included in this second... Tovább

Research on bond strengths has continued rapidly in the last few years, and much new information, covered by almost two hundred references to recent work, has been included in this second edition. In particular, important new results on the heats of atomization of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, boron and silicon have required extensive revision of bond energy terms involving these elements. At the same time the discussion of dissociation energies has been brought up to date. The opportunity has been taken to delete some discussion of little-used techniques so that the book as a whole has not been increased in size.
Reviewers' comments are shown on the back flap of this dustjacket.
