Abstract
AbstractSince the activation energy for the reaction RH + O2 → R· + HO2. is very close to its endothermicity, the R‐H bond energy can be calculated from the activation energy for free radical formation by the reaction RH + O2. The relation between Ei and QR–H was found empirically after measuring Ei by the method of inhibitors for the oxidation of cyclohexane, nheptane, and toluene: The values of QR–H are calculated from these and earlier experimental data for five hydrocarbons, five phenols, and four aromatic amines.
