A New Method for Determining Gas Phase Heat of Formation of Aromatic Energetic Compounds

A new correlation is introduced for desk calculation of gas phase heat of formation of aromatic energetic compounds that contain the elements of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Predicted gas phase heats of formation for 26 energetic compounds have a root mean square of deviation from experiment of 20.67 kJ/mol, which is in good agreement with respect to measured values of oxygen‐lean and oxygen‐rich aromatic energetic compounds.
