Abstract

Understanding the energetic cost of twisting and other distortions of*-bonds is fundamentally interesting and provides important insight into double bond stereoisomerization processes. Compounds with highly distorted double bonds are potentially the most important sources of these thermochemical data.'Photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC) 2 is uniquely capable of directly measuring the enthalpy changes for the photochemical reactions of such ...
