Spectroscopic calculation of CH bond dissociation energy for aliphatic derivatives from the ethylene series

The bond-dissociation energy of CH bonds in molecules of the ethylene homological series has been determined by spectroscopic and quantum chemical methods. Spectroscopic values for the CH bond dissociation energy were calculated based on the fundamental absorption bands in the anharmonic approximation by the variation method using the Morse anharmonic basis. Quantum chemical computations were performed with 6-311G(3d, 3p)/B3LYP basis. There are discussed the obtained regularities of changes in the bond dissociation energy when the structure of a molecule is changed.
