Homolytic dissociation energies for different cleavage paths in a numb
er of peroxides, peroxyacids and peroxyesters and in the radicals form
ed from these molecules, were calculated from the total MO ab-initio m
olecular energies of the chemical species involved in the bond cleavag
e reactions and compared with experimental values, where known.
