Prediction for thermodynamic function of dioxins for gas phase using semi-empirical molecular orbital method with PM3 Hamiltonian

Chemosphere. 2000 Jan;40(2):131-45. doi: 10.1016/s0045-6535(99)00215-5.

Abstract

In this investigation, respective thermodynamic parameters of heats of formation, standard entropy and specific heat capacity at constant pressure for PCDDs, PCDFs, Co-PCB and PCBs as well as polychlorinated-benzenes and polychlorinated-phenols have been evaluated by quantum chemical calculation using a semi-empirical molecular orbital method with the PM3 Hamiltonian and statistical thermodynamic correlation.
