Conclusions

  1. 1.

    An additive-group scheme was developed for calculation of the enthalpies of formation of free radicals, ΔHf o(R), in consideration of the energy of the electronic rearrangement in formation of a radical in the implicit form as a function of the position of the free valence in the radical.

  2. 2.

    The parameters of the scheme which would permit calculating ΔHf o(R) for alkyl radicals and the energies of dissociation of the bonds in alkanes were determined in good agreement with the experimental data.
