Notes:
A bond and group equivalent scheme that allows the calculation of heats of formation for alkyl radicals from the ab initio restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock 6-31G* energies was developed. For a group of 12 radicals, the rms error for the calculated heats of formation was 0·65 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal = 4·184 kJ). Heats of formation were predicted for the pentyl radical and six of its isomers for which the experimental values are unknown.
