Abstract
The enthalpies of formation of a series of XY(2)H(n) compounds have been calculated using the homodesmic reaction XY(2)H(n) + CH(3)XH(n)CH(3) --> 2CH(3)XH(n)Y with total energies computed at the MP2 = FULL/6-31G(d,p)//MP2 = FULL/ 6-31G(d,p) level. The unifying concept of thermodynamic stabilization energy allowed us to estimate the magnitude of the interaction between two substituents attached to a common saturated center. The so-called geminal interaction varies from 9 to -4 kcal mol(-1) in the series of compounds considered in this work. The generalized anomeric effect which is only a part of the geminal interaction cannot be used for rationalizing the thermochemistry of reactions involving XY(2)H(n) compounds.
