Abstract

AbstractA recent theory by KAWABATA, TSURUTA, and FURUKAWA makes it possible to correlate Q‐e values, obtained using styrene as the reference monomer with conjugation stabilization energies calculated from the LCAO‐MO method using ethylene as the reference. This theory has been re‐examined in light of recently obtained Q‐e values based on ethylene. While the agreement between theory and experiment for ethylene‐based e values is only fair and indicates the need for further experimentation, quite good agreement is obtained for ethylene‐based Q values. The advantages inherent in the use of a scheme based solely on the ethylene monomer and radical are discussed.
