Selected ATcT [1, 2] enthalpy of formation based on version 1.122 of the Thermochemical Network [3]

This version of ATcT results was partially described in Ruscic et al. [4], and was also used for the initial development of high-accuracy ANLn composite electronic structure methods [5].

Formula
The aggregate state is given in parentheses following the formula, such as: g - gas-phase, cr - crystal, l - liquid, etc.
Uncertainties
The listed uncertainties correspond to estimated 95% confidence limits, as customary in thermochemistry (see, for example, Ruscic [6]).
Note that an uncertainty of ± 0.000 kJ/mol indicates that the estimated uncertainty is < ± 0.0005 kJ/mol.
