However, the data in Table 2 appears to focus more on the thermodynamics of a reaction step, such as polymerization. For instance, the enthalpy change (ΔHp) is calculated as:
ΔHp = Hdimer −Hmonomer −Hcapping. If the reaction occurs in the gas phase, all components should correspond to their gas-phase values, and the same applies to the solvent phase.
In my calculations, I use Shermo to compute all thermodynamic parameters presented in my paper. The structures were optimized with B3LYP-D3BJ/6-31G(d) to obtain frequency data, and single-point energies were refined using M06-2X-D3/def2-TZVP in either the gas phase or the solvent phase, depending on the context. To illustrate, I compared one structure across different phases and found that the solvation enthalpy (ΔHsolv) can be approximated as: ΔHsolv ≈ ΔGsolv − ΔG1atm→1M. This shows that solvation enthalpy is largely dominated by the solvation free energy, with a minor contribution from the standard-state concentration adjustment at the given temperature.
