Among free radicals most frequently invoked in kinetic schemes are hydroxyl HO and hydroperoxyl H02. These two species play important parts in many systems, simple and complex; for example, in the oxygen+ hydrogen reaction, in the combustion of hydrocarbons and in the radiolysis of water. For their exact role to be assessed, reliable thermochemical data are needed for the individual reactions occurring.Numerous estimates of the heats of formation of HO and HO2 and of enthalpy changes of reactions in which they take part have been made in the past. In general, since the formation of€ 30 and H02 from the elements in their standard states are experimentally inaccessible processes, all values for the enthalpies of formation of HO and HO2 are derived by the combination of other thermochemical data which are susceptible to direct determination. These are" primary" data. Of course, direct experiment is not the only source of information and attempts based on theoretical premises or on arguments of analogy have also been made to derive the enthalpies of formation of HO and H02. When experimental evidence is available, however, it is to be preferred. The primary data on which the thermochemistry of HO rests are (i) the experimental values of the heats of its own dissociation and of the dissociations of molecular hydrogen and oxygen into H and 0 atoms,(ii) experimental values of the enthalpy of formation of hydrogen peroxide and of its heat of dissociation into hydroxyl radicals and (iii) experimental values of the enthalpy of formation of water and heats of reaction producing HO from water such as
