pubmed-article:11741433pubmed:abstractTextThe photolysis reaction of di-tert-butylperoxide was studied in various solvents by photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC). This technique allows the determination of the enthalpy of this homolysis reaction, which by definition corresponds to the O-O bond dissociation enthalpy of the peroxide in solution, DHsin(degrees)(O-O). The derived value from these experiments in benzene, 156.7 +/- 9.9 kJ mol(-1), is very similar to a widely accepted value for the gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy, DH(degrees)(O-O) = 159.0 +/- 2.1 kJ mol(-1). However, when the PAC-based value is used together with auxiliary experimental data and Drago's ECW model to estimate the required solvation terms, it leads to 172.3 +/- 10.2 kJ mol(-1) for the gas-phase bond dissociation enthalpy. This result, significantly higher than the early literature value, is however in excellent agreement with a recent gas-phase determination of 172.5 +/- 6.6 kJ mol(-1). The procedure to derive the gas-phase DH(degrees)(O-O) was tested by repeating the PAC experiments in carbon tetrachloride and acetonitrile. The average of the values thus obtained was DH(degrees)(O-O) = 179.6 +/- 4.5 kJ mol(-1), confirming that the early gas-phase result is a lower limit. More importantly, the present study questions the usual assumption that the solvation terms of homolysis reactions producing free radicals in solution should cancel, and suggests a methodology to estimate solvation enthalpies of free radicals.lld:pubmed
