Abstract

We propose that the dominant effect in bond energy trends of CXYH2, SiXYH2, and substituted olefins is the singlet-triplet energy splitting in CXY or SiXY. New predictions of singlet-triplet gaps in AXY (A = C, Si) molecules, heats of formation of substituted olefins, and Si-H bond strengths in substituted silanes are obtained.
