1. What about functionalized hydrocarbons. Do values of lgHm(298
What about functionalized hydrocarbons? Do values of lgHm( K) correlate with slngHm(Tm)?
Hv(298)/kJmol-1=4.69(nC -nQ)+1.3nQ+3.0+nMM +b +C
For the present let’s ignore metals and lump the quaternary carbons contribution with the constant.
Hv(298)/kJmol-1  4.69nC + b + C
if we allow C to be a variable, then this relationship is an equality such that 4.69nC + b >> C

3. The b term can be expressed as 4.69*a such that
b = 4.69*a
Then Hv(298)/kJmol-1  4.69(nC + a) + C
Hv(298)/kJmol-1  4.69nC’ + C
where nC’ = (nC + a)
Since is an arbitrary temperature, the following relationship should hold for any temperature.
Hv(Tm)/kJmol-1  AnC’ + B + C’
It should be possible to express B (contribution of the functional group as B = 4.69*a + c as long as we are referring to the same functional group
Hv(Tm)/kJmol-1 = A(nC + a) + C’’ if we allow C’’ to be a variable

4. Hv(Tm)/kJmol-1 = A(nC + a) + C’’
Hv(Tm)/kJmol-1 = AnC’ + C’’
slnHm(Tm)/kJmol-1 is generally small and its contribution can be expressed in similar form.
slnHm(Tm) = A’nC’ + C’’’ where C’’’ is a variable.
slope = lgHm ( K) / slngHm(Tm)
slope = (4.69nC’ + C)/(AnC’ + C’’+ A’nC’ + C’’’ )
slope = (4.69nC’ + C’)/[(A+A’) nC’ +C’’+C’’’]
slope = [MnC’ + X]/[M’nC’ + X’]

5. Consequences of this analysis:
1. Only compounds with the same functional group can be correlated.
2. Only compounds with the same number of functional groups can be correlated unless:
a) group values of the functional group are the same as for C;
b) the number of carbon atoms is kept constant and the number of identical functional groups varied.

7. Ethers tertiary amines and hydrocarbons correlate.
