Abstract

The bond strength of the normal carbon-carbon bond of 83-85 kcal./niole is sufficiently great to prohibit free-radical dissociation of ethane into methyl radicals, except at extremely high temperatures. This normal bond-dissociation energy is greatly reduced by the presence of bulky substituents surrounding the carboncarbon bond, as in the case of polyarylethanes.* In hexaphenylethane, for example, the dissociation energy is lowered to about 10-11 kcal. ...
