Photoacoustic Calorimetry; The Determination of Bond Dissociation Enthalpies in Solution and in the Gas Phase

  • Chapter
Energetics of Stable Molecules and Reactive Intermediates

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 535))

Abstract

Photoacoustic and photothermal techniques have provided numerous applications in physical and chemical research, ranging from spectroscopy to material testing. One of the more recent developments is photoacoustic calorimetry (PAC), which quantifies the enthalpy change that occurs in a photoinduced chemical process in solution. This review describes the recent advances in the application of PAC for the determination of bond dissociation enthalpies, BDEs (eq. 1, 2). Although the experiments are relatively straightforward there are a number of complications in the treatment of the data that, if not carefully considered, can lead to large systematic errors and erroneous results. However, in the recent period we have developed a detailed methodology to ensure that the PAC enthalpy determinations are also valid for the gas phase.
