Calorimetric and Computational Study of Enthalpy of Formation of Diperoxide of Cyclohexanone

A thermochemical rather simple experimental technique is applied to determinethe enthalpy of formation of Diperoxide of ciclohexanone. The study is complemented withsuitable theoretical calculations at the semiempirical and ab initio levels. A particularsatisfactory agreement between both ways is found for the ab initio calculation at the 6-311G basis This set level. Some possible extensions of the present procedure are pointedout.
