Abstract:
Data on the thermochemistry of halogenomethanes are surveyed. The most reliable enthalpies of formation of 17 compounds have been selected by analysing the literature results and the "key" values adopted in recent years. The scope of modern methods for the approximate calculation of the enthalpies of formation of halogenomethanes is examined. Values are recommended for the enthalpies of formation of all 70 halogenomethanes and their reliability is estimated. The bibliography includes 111 references.
