Abstract
The structure-dependent energies of organic radicals, cations, and anions are deduced from their calculated relative enthalpies and are compared to the relative enthalpies of their parent compounds. The use of relative enthalpies to express the relative energies of organic radicals, cations, and anions proved to be as fruitful as in the case of their parent organic compounds. The same energy-determining structural factors may have stronger, weaker, or even opposite effects in the radicals, cations, or anions than those in their parent molecules.
