With data on over 2900 bonds in 2500 organic compounds, the Handbook of Bond Dissociation Energies in Organic Compounds is the first comprehensive collection of experimental BDE data and is sure to be welcomed by chemists around the world. It is organized by bond type within 49 separate tables, and for each bond type, the data are classified by functional group, bond order, bond degree, and molecular size and structure. The author presents up to five experimental values for each dissociation, highlights the recommended value, and lists with each the experimental method used and references. An...

Understanding the energy it takes to build or break chemical bonds is essential for scientists and engineers in a wide range of innovative fields, including catalysis, nanomaterials, bioengineering, environmental chemistry, and space science. Reflecting the frequent additions and updates of bond dissociation energy (BDE) data throughout the literature, the Comprehensive Handbook of Chemical Bond Energies compiles the most recent experimental BDE data for more than 19,600 bonds of 102 elements.
The author organizes the data by bond type, functional group, bond order, bond degree, molecular...
