Abstract
Enthalpy of combustion of highly pure nitromethane and nitrobenzene have been measured with the precise combustion calorimetry. Enthalpies of vaporization for both compounds were collected and evaluated. New internally consistent experimental data set of values for nitromethane and nitrobenzene was compared with the results of one of the most accurate first-principles G4 method applied to both atomization and isodesmic reactions. It was shown that the values calculated using the atomization reaction procedure are underestimated by 6.6 kJ.mol-1 for nitromethane and 9.1 kJ.mol-1 for nitrobenzene. Isodesmic reaction scheme strongly supports the internal consistency of new experimental data. Simple corrected atomization procedure to derive the reliable theoretical enthalpies of formation directly from the G4 atomization reaction values has been tested and recommended as the alternative to the bond separation and isodesmic reactions.Citation
