Abstract

Heats of formation have been calculated by the DFT method for a number of furan derivatives. It is found that, with the isodesmic reaction, the calculations are in good agreement with the available experimental data. These results suggest that a combination of DFT methods with the isodesmic reaction afford accurate thermochemical data for relatively substituted furan derivatives. In this study, the MPW1PW91 method was found to be the most suitable method in predicting the enthalpy of formation of the furan derivatives.
