Abstract
In solution the reaction enthalpy for the thermal isomerization of the Dewar isomers 2a and 2b to their corresponding 8,9-disubstituted [6]p aracyclophanes 1a and 1b was determined as -128+/-13 kJ . mol(-1) and -146+/-15 kJ . mol(-1), while the activation energies were found to be 101+/-10 kJ . mol(-1) and 117+/-12 kJ . mol(-1) respectively. An impr oved calorimetric technique was employed using samples in sealed NMR t ubes.
